You didn't hijack it if you plan on bringing it to LH on Saturday!

Any reason why you haven't cut the weight in half (or more) and gone lipo yet?

PS: I'll try and be there by 10am ish. Hopefully it does not snow.

does anyone that's going have pairs of batteries/chargers i could borrow for a day? I'm starting to charge the packs after sitting for a while, and one of em's false peaking very frequently.. any batteries w/ deans would work. if you're not planning on using em of course.

I don't have 2 chargers.. but I do have 2 of the new LiMN packs that may work. Hmm err not.. they don't have deans on them.

Guessing your not going to make the 2 hour drive without batteries.

Adapters...A little added resistance, but it's worth not having to screw around with plugs. Make some that have a tamiya plug opposite what is on the pack now, and deans on the other side, opposite what is on the esc.

I would not run Tamiya plugs with a high current, high voltage setup. I did what you suggested a few months ago and made adapters both ways.

So could charge packs with deans plugs on my tamiya plug style charger, and I also created an adapter to use a timaya plug battery with my ESC which had a Deans ultra plug.

While the charger adapter for deans still works when I ran a tamiya connector pack with the adapter on my Novak 5.5R setup it literally melted the tamiya plug because of the resistance.

Its Deans all the way, nothing else for me ever again.
