    Haha, latly iv been selling to buy or trading so havnt really gained anymore. Today I traded a cheapo 2.4 from hobby king that came with my max stone for a rtr mini-t with extra parts and batterys. it could have used some new wheels and while i did that i got some threaded axles cause just taking the little c-clips off I lost 2.

    Still wanna pick up a atomik mm450 dirtbike :anonymous:

    what do you guys use to wrap batteries you make or rewrap ones you've worked on? i just ahd to open my stock battery up to resolder on of the leads that broke off. i just used electrical tape to hold the cells together for the time being, but figure there's somethign out there to wrap them properly. do you just use big heat shrink tube, or is there something more speciffic for RC?

    think its safe to say most of us dont work on our batteries lol. we mostly run lipos. if youre talking about nimhs then id say electrical tap is your best bet.

    A good hobby shop should have battery shrink, in a few sizes and maybe even colors. Just prolly hidden away somewhere, just ask. To hold nimh cells together Shoe Goo is hard to beat, then shrink over for professional looking packs.

    Well, my plan on selling off all my 2.4s had turned into trading them for stuff, out of the 12 i put up forsale 4 sold, and have traded 5.

    Traded 2 controllers for this rustler vxl roller, has mip driveshafts, adjustable steel camber links, rpm arms, new screw kit, and bearings on all 4 corners. I got the castle sidewinder system out my exo I can stick in it, figured why not. :cool:
