Question

Accepted Answer

Dear customer.

Good late evening from Japan. This is Atsukiya and thank you for sending us your question 
about "Tamiya Fullcowl Mini 4WD Series No. 44 Beat Magnum Premium AR Chassis 19444…".
I checked web site of Tamiya for the nimh battery. The mAh of NiMH battery recommended 
to use for their cars says Min. 950 mAh only. 
  Then I also found following comment on web site which answering for someone who questioning 
why the Tamiya Neo Champ is NiMH battery even though they prohibited to use it for their car.
This person also mentioned his motor got burned after few runs. 
"The reason why the use of nickel-metal hydride batteries was prohibited was that the capacity of 
the initial nickel-metal hydride batteries was large, and when the tires were locked, there was a risk 
of heat generation up to high frequencies. Tamiya's Neo Champ has a small capacity, so you can use it."

From what I checked, the 2000mAh battery is too large for Tamiya cars and not recommended.

Hope this answers to your question.  Have a nice day.
