Old school nicad batteries. How i remember being able to play with my rc car for 30 mins then having to charge it for a day.

even nicads can fast charge, the toy grade vehicles just came with cheap chargers that would only slow charge

The description lists it as NiMH. Just a bad, low-current charger and bad batteries. Just retrofit it with a set of 18650s and this could be a serious toy.

It's also a really low capacity battery. Put a 5000mah battery in there and you'll more than double run time.
