One thing i can say about those spyders....there dirt cheap!!!

RCDad · (#5 (**permalink**))

It looks like it takes a regular 7.2v stick pack? I hate that the mini-t takes a special battery.

It's a 18T wannabe, but are decently priced.

maxximum_44 · (#7 (**permalink**))

Dad, this guy uses the same battery as the mini t,you just have to find a stick pack.

RCDad · (#8 (**permalink**))

Hey, how can you charge those mini-t packs with an MRC 969?

maxximum_44 · (#9 (**permalink**))

you need an adapter that has female tamiya plug on one end that plugs into the charger
and a female 2 pin plug at the other end that plugs to the battery.
Looks like this only cleaner http://www.blindbatts.com/catalog/images/chgadpt.jpg

Would the MRC 969 automatically adjust the charge for these smaller packs? It's pretty intuitive that way.

maxximum_44 · (#11 (**permalink**))

well i don't have any exp. w/ the 696. On my prophet I give it 1-2 amps depending how much time I have. I suppose you have the option to lower the amps on the charger itself.

The mini craze has seemd to die down alot lately

maxximum_44 · (#13 (**permalink**))

Yeah I agree. they can be fast as all hell, but they weight so light that if you hit a pebble you will be airbourn and thats a problem.
