    LiPo charging is really finicky and really should only be done with a dedicated hobby charger that can balance charge them. I could hook you up with a really nice one for around $40 out of my personal stash. While charging LiPo's they ideally should be charged in a fire resistant nag designed for those batteries ($5-10 at any local hobby shop or Amazon). Look up LiPo charging on YouTube.

      I wouldn't use one of the USB chargers for anything other than tiny 1s batteries, you will want a proper balance charger where you plug in the normal leads and the balance cable. A fireproof bag is also a good idea if you don't have one already.

        Thanks for the heads up to both of you, this has been unplugged for the night. I guess it’s not a huge surprise that the Amazon special didn’t come with the specialty charger.

            This is a very good charger. It won’t burn your house down…which unregulated LiPo charging will for sure do.

            BTW, the Amazon car described as being “for adults” is hilarious to me. If it’s for adults it’s not pre-assembled. Pre-assembled is for babies and rich people. I wouldn’t describe it as the Tippmann 98 of RC because nobody regrets buying a 98.

              My boys played with their Traxxas Stampede 4x4 BL-2s's at the paintball field today while I got a few hours of paintball in. I don't know much about RC's, but it's what the local hobby shop recommended. We're happy with them so far. Just had to learn their limits. My older son has put about $60 worth of replacement parts in his. He jumped it too high too often (breaking various suspension components), liked to do wheelies (wearing out the differential gears), and found a big, mostly buried rock with the steering bellcrank. It's good experience for him taking it apart, finding the required replacement parts, and putting it back together. He managed to break a camber link today. He's toned it way down since having to put his own money into fixing it multiple times, so I think the camber link today finally just gave up the ghost after all the previous abuse.

                As long as they are fixing it themselves they’re doing it right.
