Battery charger. If you want it to go faster u buy Lipo batteries but you will need a lipo charger. They do sell chargers that will charge both type of batteries

If you want the truck to be at its best you will need some lipo batteries and u also need a charger doesn't have one in the box

It comes with the remote, but you will need a good charger, I would suggest this, http://www.hobbypartz.com/thac6smbachw.html, it will need a Traxxas charger plug connector, but you can find that on amazon for under ten bucks, also the Nihm battery packs it comes with are really weak, so I would suggest either at or after purchase getting a lipo pack, they are very good in comparison to the included packs. Here is a cheap starter pack...... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Zippy-Lipo-RC-Car-Battery-Hardcase-2S-7-4v-4000mah-25C-Traxxas-Connector-/201075852750?pt=Radio_Control_Parts_Accessories&hash;=item2ed10e05ce. If you have any questions about the charger, just pull it up on youtube and watch a few videos, its very helpful.

Battery charger is NOT included. Order him one on amazon, they're not expensive. Also i would recommend you get him extra batteries for the truck and reciever(remote controller) He'll thank you later for it. One last thing for future reference, buy exta parts (accident happen) soon. They're not needed to run truck out of the box. Hope this helped. He's going to enjoy the gift �

You need a good battery charger. I also purchased two 11.1 V LiPo batteries. You may want to have your son operate the truck with the 7 cell batteries before running with the larger 11.1 LiPo batteries which will make it much faster. I live out in the Texas Hill country and have a front yard 200 ft deep and the truck will do a wheelie the whole distance. I hope this helps.

You are going to need a quality charger as it does not come with one. It comes with NiCD batteries but to get the full potential from the RC you will want LIPO batteries. This is definitely not a cheap hobby to get into.

Buy a brushless slash and it will be less expensive that way. This one is a brushed truck

I bought this truck last year for my 2 year old grandson. He loved it!! It was safe and he loved playing with it... And still does !!!

I'm sorry I can't help you. I bought the traxxas trucks for my boys for Christmas, so we haven't used them yet.

I am uncertain about that but I would venture to say "yes". The quality of this truck for the money is not what I expected. My grandson loved this truck and took very good care of it and the small parts broke off, very cheaply made.

I'm sorry I don't know the answer to that question. I gifted the truck to my nephew cause his name is Peter. He's too young yet to play with it, so it's still in the box on a shelf.

Hey. Check ready lift.com. I can tell you though if this does fit your truck it looks absolutely incredible and rides smooth as always. Good luck.

Hi Again....I'm sorry, I didn't answer your question did I . Unfortunately we do not have any other trucks other than the dump truck. Thank You for think of Little Folks Book and Toy....Barbara J.

They're right you need to get your remote control system,receiver,transmitter,and charger desperate from the truck. But I'm sure all of you other R/C Addicts it also means you get to play with it a LOT sooner, even though I Love working on my R/C to upgrade it, I still can't wait to get it put back together so I can play with it.

My answer to you is no buy this ,EXCEED has some models with the same price and you can get parts in internet orsome local hobby shops or you can buy a ELECTRIX EXC for the same price in amazon,I a owner of two trucks named circuit and are really strong or if yiu want something more 'EXPENSIVE" I'll recommend you the Ford RaptorSlash from traxxas sold in amazon or the traxxas stampede are a great trucks and parts are everywhere almost for the same price, hope you read more about and get a real 4x4 truck not that imitation of a 4x4 truck.

Look on the manufacturer's website, www.gorancho.com. You can put in all the info about your truck, and it will tell you what you need.

I'm sorry I cannot help you out. I sold the truck. But, I can tell you that it DID work. Without any problems.

Ummmmm, I'm not the seller. I did purchase a pair of these recently for some retired friends back in December and I don't recall what type of truck they have. Somewhere on the webpage there is a list of the vehicles that this will fit, I remember this because I had to make sure I wasn't wasting my time and money on the wrong product. Good luck with your research and eventual purchase!

It's very simple, don't worry. All you need are the trucks, hardware (screws and nuts), a screwdriver, and a skate tool.

The truck is pretty peppy with the battery it comes with. It lacks run time though. I would start off by getting a second battery of the same size, and connecting them in parallel. The series connection is designed solely to increase top speed, and should only be used for that. Stop and go style use will fry the batteries in no time in series. Parallel increases how long the batteries will run, as well as the raw torque of the truck. A lot of guys out there will say, "Get the biggest and tie them in series!" I will definitely say that high speeds are not this truck's friend. Although it does result in some wicked crashes! The truck is pretty peppy with the battery it comes with. It lacks run time though.

Yes this will make your truck run like a bat outta hell with that setup! The ts chip is one of the best on the 7.3 I have the same setup on my truck and it runs awesome.
