Lol. Red pack SUCKS!!!. The 3pk requires a pack with a male plug I have 2400's in my XS3 and thought of using them before. Maybe I'll check out some LiPo's

Just have a pack made up for that 3pk. I would check into Helotes or HTbatteries for something else. I know I had CHip at AL's make me a couple packs of the 2400 for it when i had one. You can also get the futaba battery cage to hold them in there too, and you can charge while in the holder also. Thats really all you need to use 2400s.

Since everyone is talking about batteries I have a question. At the track I was having problems with my switch for my Rx and ended loosing power and going about 3/4 throttle into the wall at the back straight. I want to pick up a helotes rx pack. For those of you who don't run switches, do you just plug the battery right into the rx or how do you do it?
