Stock batteries are very lame, buy 7.4 LIPO and you will be very happy, if a child is playing with the toy stock batteries would be fine you get about five minutes good power and it goes downhill from there, maybe 10 minutes

You'll want better batteries than stock. Stock will give you maybe 15-20 minutes max, depending on how you drive, and maybe 30mph. Go LiPo, or 8-cell NiMH if you don't want LiPo. A 5200mah 3S LiPo gives me over 30 minutes per charge, and 42mph all stock gears. Also get the battery expansion kit so you can use almost any size battery you want.

stock battery is NiMH and it goes for about 20 minutes. I upgraded the batteries to LiPo for the fun factor and goes about 30 minutes. I put a fan on the motor to help the heat. Batteries are expensive but get a decent pair of 3s LiPOs and you will be happy.

That is probably correct with the Lipos (30-35), but with the included batteries (NiMh) it doesn't really matter because they drop off so fast & it is always changing. To charge for 6 hours to get a couple of good passes before it just stops & needs to rejuvenate is a little ridiculous. I'm guessing maybe 25-30. You might be better off looking at a "You-Tube" video but everyone there seems to use Lipos including the RedCat advertisements. I didn't see the point of needing that kind of upgrade right out of the box, it just isn't fair.

First time we charged it was over night. Run time is pretty long. It has a gauge on dash letting you know how much battery life is left. I liked the safety feature that it won't run with charger plugged it. Can't drive away with charger plugged in.

I have 2 batteries for my V10 [which I really like]. The flash uses battery quickly. The LCD uses juice fast, too. After you get familiar with the camera, set power conservation to the most conservative settings you can go with, and I think you will be pleased with the results.

I don't have a speed gun but mine goes pretty fast on a 3s 11.1v lipo on the stock pinion/spur. I would goes it is in the 30-45 mph range.

It all depends on the battery. With the stock battery 20mph to 25mph. With a 2s Lipo battery 45mph to 50mph (cost $30.00). With a 3s Lipo battery we'll over 65mph too crazy to drive able to do straight runs only (cost $40.00). This buggy's parts are as good as the 1/8 scale Team Losi Racing 8ight 3.0 and the Team Durango Dex408. Which if you would get either of these cars could set you back $1500.00 and are strictly for racing. All in all the Talcon Soar is just a smaller version of the big boys. Best buy I made.

Much faster. Where the stock charger takes about 10-12 hours, this take less than 2 depending on the size is the battery.

Top speed on Nimh is less than 10mph-15 I would estimate, the esc isn't rated to handle lipo batteries. At least the one that came in mine a year and a half ago.

Yes it does. Get a 7 cell 8.4v battery. If you run it on race mode, you won't need much more. Mine went so fast, it was only good in a wide open flat space. Rolling at 1/3 throttle you nail it and it stands straight up and over. Buy a wheelie bar. Fast out of the box. Glad I got it. It's a lot of fun.

Thanks for the inquiry. Depending on mode and battery used can reach speeds up to around 25 mph Best regards Richard

Hello!! This is a real [entry level] battery car, no fast, battery works maybe 30 min The best maybe is the remote to control my son 2 y old is happy

Well I'm sure it depends on the brand of batteries. I used off brands from Menards and as most things from Menards its low quality so i got about 3 weeks out of the gun. I am not sure how much my kid used when i wasn't around so i cant give an estimated amount of hrs it will run

A lot faster than the stock RC toys (AirHogs "garbage") you get from Walmart/BestBuy. I don't have a speed gun but a typical city block, the truck can get to the end in less than 5 seconds. The weakest link of the truck is its rims, it cracks/chips off after some serious hard crashes. I since replaced the wheels with Team Associate RC18T rims and it lasts, can take more of a beating (still runs fine, and I run my truck weekly).

30 mph stock 1 battery 50 mph stock with 23t pinion gear and two nmhi batt running series I can be tuned to run better and faster

The stock Nimh battery lasts about 12 minutes on a full charge. I recommend upgrading to lipo power asap

I was able to use the stock battery for nearly two months. I used it for a total of about 30 seconds a day, 5-10 times per week.
