I immedietly checked the voltage as I had heard so much about dead cells upon arrival but both packs where identical and at 3.8V/cell. Just got done soldering some deans on and they are charging, I have to say that I'm not a fan of the wire! The 8 gauge wire seems to be over kill and is a PITA to solder.
ya the wire is way too big, i usually cut some of the strands off to make it a little easier to solder. You will also hate how easy the wire insulation gets cut on random things, like the pack shrinkwrap for instance. that is really the only gripe i have with turnigy packs.


Built Ford tough, with Chevy stuff.
