Ipplepen hmm, if only I could drive a real car I wouldnt mind having a track to race/drive on....
Anyways, I got my replacement battery pack yesterday:-

Those are Intellect 4200 cells,
very nice. I just sold my remaining nosram 4000 pack for £22.50 ($40ish), so I will put that towards another FTX 4200 pack sooner or later, but for the time being Im spent right up to my credit card limit, so I want to pay a load of that off before buying anything else- and only essentials at that. As it is once the GorillaMaxx & towerhobbies orders arrive I will be 100% sorted, so no more purchases need to be made with regards to the truck (barring breakages). I have a feeling though that HMC&E have got their filthy little hands on the Gmaxx stuff so I will be getting a nice letter from parcel farce requesting £20 or so before I can get the order- bum-holes, but towerhobbies stuff usually gets through without any problems/charges so fingers crossed by the start of next week I will finally have the truck running like she should do....
