hey, i have some tenergy ni-mh packs. i used to run them in my rustler vxl. i have the 8-cell packs. i had a 4200 pack that i took apart and soldered together (spot welding from the factory) and that pack is still running strong. i got a pair of 3800s for $17 each and just about a month ago, i got one up to 260F and i could just peal the shrinkwrap off like it was nothing. that pack is toast. 2 weeks ago, i got the other 3800 pack up to 200F and that pack isn't toast, but is now weaker.
i popped in a zippy 5000mah 3s 25c lipo and....HOLY $H!T that truck moved! i had it geared for about 50mph and it was just flying. wheelies at 50mph were easy. i did have to dremel the back and sides of the chassis down to be able to squeeeze the pack in there. the worst part is though, while testing my charger's accuracy with a nice voltmeter, i accidentally shorted it at the balance plug and the metal piece in the connector is now broken.
link, how much would you charge to put a new connector on my battery?
