Default Batteries?

If i had a stage 2 motor would the NON-RECHARCHABLE Batteries waste faster than if i had a stage 1 motor?

Yes rechargables are the only way to go. I recommend Intellects ni-mh and to charge them I would make a four cell holder and use a Duratrax Intellipeak Ice charger. Kinda spendy, but makes a world of difference.

recharables are what you need no matter what....of course if you run a motor with more rotations per minutes RPM's, the batteries will use faster as they need to run more power to the engine ...just go with the rayovac recharables at home depot........I love them !!!
