I prefer a hard case battery, especially with a lipo. (the square/rectangular solid case). The one you posted was just wrapped up in some plastic/rubber) It's just a matter of protection. I can't find a hard case on there that isn't sold out that would be better than what I posted. If you think you would prefer having the 5300mah without the hard case, plenty of people run batteries like that and don't really have problems. I run my truck hard, so I like the extra protection.

 

Most organized events will not allow batteries WITHOUT hard cases. True, lots of folks run them no problems. The funny thing is all li-pos for flight don't have hard cases. Now which would you guess had the greatest potential for a rupture, surface, or air?

 

Anyone wanna do a vertical insertion with their RC truck? I think my helicopter could carry most any of your trucks easy enough. Would look cool... LoL

 

What kind of heli do you have?

 

yeah I got a traxxes revo. hmm. I should get that thing out later.

 

I see your avi says "sack 0 tomatoes", that battery looks a whole lot like a mater nose from a heli? Looks like it's fine, any rupture?

 

600 Electric FBL, 3500 watt motor running on 12S.

Its not my battery. Its a funny pic/club that someone started on Helifreak. Generally any helicopter with front mounted packs will 'taco' when it goes in. Alot of helis these days are starting to do trays mounted inside the chassis for protection.

 

ok cool. i really appreciate the help. just trying to learn as much as i can so i can have the most fun with the truck. Dont want to destroy by making bad battery choices. That charger that you posted, do you just hook banana clips to the traxxas connector on the battery or do you have to get a special attachment for the chargers thats are out there?

 

what size servos go in 1/10th scale sc truck. blitz & slash? i know theres different sizes but how do i know it will fit?

 

X2 can you use the banana connectors to the traxxas female end to charge???

 

I would say you could find a TRX (Traxxas' name for their connectors) attachment to plug into the charger. If not, one could be made by you or your LHS with ease. I would recommend having everything on the same connector. I'm gonna have to get an EC3 made up for that charger when it comes in.

 

is this a good servo?

So if i got this charger http://www.hobbypartz.com/thac6smbachw.html

and got this attachment http://www.hobbypartz.com/79p-10030.html

that would work for the TRX connectors correct? Then i could either get batteries from traxxas or batteries from another brand and would just have to worry about soldering trx ends on the battery right?

 

Hell YEAH!!!

 

That sux!!!! Lol. Call out with a migraine!!!!
