Thanks for the info. If I decide to separate it I'll definitely be careful with the polarities and shorting it out.
I'm not sure how the balancing wires will go, but I'm sure that once it's apart and I can see where they are I'll be able to figure it out, but the main thing I'm worried about is how the tabs are connected together, I've never really seen how they join the cells before.
I don't think these cells are stuck together, because one of the cells slide sideways inside the pack about a mm or 2 and I pushed it back fairly easily, but thanks for the warning.
Would it be a good idea to try to borrow one of those suits they wear when defusing a bomb
Hopefully it won't be needed.
Oh yeah weight, well we don't have any accurate scales at home, but the ones we do have say it's around 12lb. It's definitely not a light weight maxx, it still has the 2 speed and shift servo. It's heavier than the Gorilla and UE maxx's at racing.
