I'll be checking wiring for sure.

I think flightpower, from the looks of it, designates the positive wire, then has a bunch of "negatives" which procede it.

All I'm going to do is re-arrange wiring on the adapter (and possibly the pack itself) so I'll have a Y adapter that will balance a 2S and 3S pack as a 5S.

Then, the 3S Y output will also be able to individually balance a 2S or 3S pack, which what I'll do for charging, since my charger does just 4S max.

Anyway...in case you were wondering why I am asking - I crunched some numbers and figured if I can get EVERY one of my batteries sold for decent prices (besides 2 of my stick packs so I can still use my EZ-Starts) I wont be too far away from getting 2 sets of 5S (2S+3S) FlightPower Evo20 4900 packs. :D Its not a big deal...since I only use my 8K's right now anyway...so I'm actually not loosing anything by doing this. I'm just gaining flightpower and some floor space in my room lol...

Then, I'll order some .065 inch sheet 6061 aluminum and cut out and bend little protective cases for them. However, more importantly, the case will allow them to key into the slots on my G2R chassis, keeping them secure.

I'm hoping these with the 1950/6 will get me some serious speed :D
