I plan getting the H8 w/ oil shock s and a rocket 400 motor but im beat for cash so I was wondering can I run standard batteries?(run times and power)

Also I have a 1200 mah 5 cell hump pack here and if I could use that as a alternate until I get some battery packs?

if you are talkin about using 6AA cells then its gonna be slow even with the faster motor. i would suggest getting a good battery pack b4 getting a motor. the batteries go a long way. if you havea 5 cell pack all you need to get is 3 more cells, some shrink tube and some wire :)

If those batteries are sub-c cell size you will have problems fitting them into a Half 8. If, however, they are the 2/3a NiMH cells you should have no problem. :D

you might want to get 2 sets...the GP1100 and IB1200 don't particularly like being charged and discharged over and over and over again in 1 race day...

You're not dealing with a receiver pack in a nitro vehicle...These need to be treated like any other electric vehicles' batteries
