What kind of run times do you get with these? How long does it take to charge them? What about using them in parallel as 3.7v 600mah?

I couldn't find these using Google; sorry. Besides, I'd like to order from HorizonHobby.com, BatterySpace.com, or HobbyPeople.net since I have other things to buy from them anyway and want to save on shipping, so no worries.

The problem with both of these options is that they are only 10mAh more than the stock packs which hardly seems worth the effort, and it’s looking like the stock 150’s deliver a good deal of current for their size, so they might not even be much of an improvement at all. One thing you have to be careful about with an unmodified chassis is the 1/3 AAA designation, it is only a ball park reference so some 1/3 AAA’s like the 195 cells I use are too long to fit in an unmodified chassis, although they are well worth modifying a chassis for.

Couldn't find these either, unfortunately. I'm thinking about making a lexan chassis eventually but that's pretty far down the line; I need to buy a Micro-T first!
Thanks again for all your help; don't know what I'd do without ya except spend hours Googling for answers that might not even be out there or that I might never even find.
