Default Once again I need help with my rustler.

It occurs to me that I might need some better batteries than the ones that came with this ultimate combo. I currently have this stuff:
http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXJC34
http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXD161

Now I dont want to buy another charger so can somebody give me some good batteries that I should buy? I dont want to spend too much though. On the charger it does not give a time for how long I should charge 3000 mah batteries. I dont think that is a problem but I would like some 3000mah batteries because they have long runtimes. 6-cell is perferred. Ive been looking at this: http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXHBP3&P=ML but it says on the page of the charger that it is not recommended for charging ni-mh batteries. Thank you for helping me out even with all these guidelines.

Can you give me some links to this stuff that you are talking about? I think you can charge ni-mh its just not recommended. And I also need a charger that I can plug into the wall outlet.

For $55 you can't beat this charger -- http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXUF43&P=7

AC/DC, peak charge, discharge, it's digital, NiCD & NiMH, you name it...

You can get 6-cell gp3300 packs with your choice of connector for about $25 at http://www.maxamps.com

There's only one problem about the batteries alien. I can only buy stuff from towerhobbies because for some reason my dad doesnt trust online buying but hes willing to buy stuff over the phone (the way I got the rusty in the first place). Dont ask me why but thats just the way it is. Can you find the same batteries on tower hobbies?

You can find gp3300's, but not at that price - they don't do 800 calls, but the number is 503-544-3725
