Actually I live in Asia where wall sockets are 220v. The charger looks nice but international payment and shipment would block me from accessing it. I dont run my tanks very often anyway so leaving the battery charging over night is acceptable for me, at least for the time being.

Dear Max:

In case I want to order parts from Hobby King, who should I contact? How do I pay and what is the shipping cost? That charger is very attractive.

=========================

Dear Alpha:

Today I disassemble the track, road wheels, idlers and sprockets to check the alignment. The road wheels are not 100% straight in line but I think there is some toleration, so I just tighten them. The only thing that needs taking care of is the idlers. I add a few rings to make them straight inline with road wheels. After a few tests in my room, there's no more thrown track. Will take it off road whenever I have time.

Hey Steel, sorry I missed that last question, you can find the website for HobbyKing at that link for the charger, and you should also get to know Carson Law at DKLM. He might be able to get you good parts at decent prices.

There are a few good places in your part of the world, have you checked into getting stuff from Australia? Oz Armor is well spoken of, and there's at least one more major parts supplier down under.
