  7. Squirrelod says:

    @maplekid1000 You can either snip the turnigy charger connectors and install a traxxas male connector or make an adapter of a female deans to a male traxxas connector.

  8. maplekid1000 says:

  18. MrWelch313 says:

    damn them chargers crack open that bottle of JD lol

  19. Squirrelod says:

    @jamesb0317 Both are external. You need an external power supply to convert your house 115VAC to 12 to 15VDC.

    Externals can use a external power supply or your cars battery. Your cars battery is DC and 12VDC.

  20. jamesb0317 says:

    Thanks for the reply. The ice in this vid has an internal or external power supply? It is DC only correct? Dc only means you cannot connect to your 1:1 car battery, but AC/DC you can?

    Thanks again,

  21. Squirrelod says:

    @jamesb0317 Great question!!!!!

    A power supply is a power supply whether if it is internal or not. Both take 115VAC and convert that to 12 to 15VDC at a amp rating of an average of 5 to 20.

    The difference between internal and external is that external typically are more robust and have more power handling capabilities. Internals, built for size, cannot handle much.

    Also, external chargers can be tapped onto your 1:1 car’s battery for power. They are designed for racing.

  22. jamesb0317 says:

    what is the difference between built in power supply and one with not?

  23. Zertiof says:

    Do these chargers also balance?

  24. RCBASHERTRUCK says:

    @fordawsome100 how about the spiderman rc car they show! get one of those lol

  27. notyetlaughing says:

    @SuperNItroRCFReak not much of a difference between Truggy and Buggy (depending on the brands obviously) buggies tend to be a little quicker because they’re smaller.. but truggies can go just as fast and are a little easier to not spin out of control…

  28. HECki9 says:

    Truggy… that is it! after 85% jump in the buggy overturns

  29. HECki9 says:

    Truggy…

  34. rcdudedrivingrccars says:

    buggy= fast and best for racing
    truggy = good for racing to but best for jumping
    truck=good hill climbing and offroad

  35. genreaper says:

    @fordawsome100, The buggy then Truggy then Truck.
    Mind you my moster truck lapped as quick as some buggys on a short course.

  36. fordawsome100 says:
