about 10-15 minutes, RS is soon to release the IC3 rechargeables, they are nimhs that recharge in 15 minutes and are more powerful and longer lasting than current nimhs, so be ready soon...

rayovac already makes the ic3. very nice batt.
-speaking of rs though, i went there tonight to get another starter kit (red supra) and some upgrades. the guy that sold the stuff to me said rs is going to be releasing the stage 3 motor soon (he had a space on the wall for it). you work at rs, do you know if this is true? and if so do you know when?

s2000, i think that you heard about the nml stage 10, a total rebuild of the stage two which seems to be the best right now for xmods, this guy tried miniz motors, says that his beats the living snot out of them, he is well known in the miniz forum, so i would trust him. a couple of vids are around show how flipping fast it is... looks like now the only problem is handling... oh and money... i believe he is selling them for 47 bucks, only seven he has made for the time being....
