Title: Question about my Tyco RC
Post by: terrorsquad4 on September 24, 2010, 22:39:27

Hello I am new to these forums and I recently got a Tyco RC Tantrum off ebay and I was looking to maybe buy a better battery for it. What batterys work with the Tantrum car? Is a Flexpack compatible with my car? What about the TMH Flexpack?

Thanks for any feedback
