    you can get the tini shafts to save some money. Or do you want to try threaded aluminum bodies?

    ^ I prefer threaded shock bodies as opposed to using spring clips. I always lose those damn things.

    Shit, didn't know they were in China. I hate buying things from overseas too. I just found a set of Venom's for about the same price. I might give them a try.

    gotta take it apart tear out the battery tray and there are two wires a positive and negative going to the tray. just wire what ever connector you want to use to those wires.


    i bought 3 of these 3 cell lipos from hobbypartz.com
    http://www.hobbypartz.com/77p-sl500-3s1p-20c-3333.html

    edit: actually with these batteries you dont even have to take out the battery tray. you can solder some wire to a positive and negative lead in the tray then go from there.
