yeah, 4A on those little packs is suicide. Don't blame the charger though, it was your mistake. Charge at the proper rate (the most I'd go is 2A, but I'd be sitting there with a temp gun watching it after 2 minutes) and it would be fine.

well cant blam me im a newbie i know that with a 2 amp charge on reg. packs provides a slightly longer run time but yeailds a slightly slower car versus a 4 amp charge provides more speed but yeilds a slightly lower run time. i thought the same applied for the mini's ...
