Just want you to know that the first couple of charges of a new batt will have a short life span.......you will need to cycle the pack at least five times which means you will need to charge and discharge the pack.............you can discharge the pack by running your micro until it starts to die, then let the pack cool and charge again, you will notice and increase in runtime as you bash around.

Also check to make sure that there are no small pebbles in the spur gear, and that the gear mesh is good. My PP came with the wheels a little too tight, so a little loosening on the nuts freed up alot of the binding, and made it run faster and longer. Just check to see if it is too tight, and make sure that the wheels do not wobble much. A little bit is ok...
