how do you do it? you can buy a cheaper charger that can charge two batteries at once..

When dealing with flips you may want a little more weight for more inertia.

As far as the connectors go. I am watching these on ebay right now but it sounds like you need it more than I do. If not then you can copy this.

A cheaper charger (Like the duratraxx) will not be nearly as reliable as the Indy/Integy charger in my experience. The series connector is simple to make. You would need a total of three connectors(two male and one female) and three pieces of wire. I can make one for you in about 5 minutes if you want. Baiscally, you wire the positive on the female plug to the poitive on one of the male plugs. Then, wire the negative on the female plug to the negative on the other male plug. Finally, you wire the two remaining male plugs together (positive to negative). It looks like a triangle when you are done. The female end of the connector plugs into the charger (like the battery would) and the batteries plug into the male plugs on the connector.

sounds cool... what about that new charger from i think duratrax the "ice" for me i think that the most important hop ups are to make it as light as possible at the beginning becuase they are pretty heavy at the beginning

If you are going to bash and are looking for better performance go with good batteries and a charger. Then go with the chassis upgrades

toby · 02.19.2005, 02:13 PM

ya.. so mike what do you think are the most important things to do for a basher?

I just picked up a duratraxx ice charger to play with. It appears to be good quality, but you would need a power supply as well when you use this charger (does not have an internal power supply). The "twin peak" charger form duratraxx is lower quality and not worth buying IMHO.

rc4x4nut · 02.19.2005, 02:16 PM

I agree with Mike. I had the "twin peak" before and it killed a couple of my packs.

:eek: I hit 100 posts...:D

toby · 02.19.2005, 02:25 PM

okay... that was the one i was thiking of.. so i need to buy that one charger and make 2 packs? and also you need to batteries for a brushless system? do you think i should upgrade motor first or no? i am not sure what to upgrade first

rc4x4nut · 02.19.2005, 02:31 PM

You would want to build more towards durability for going with a hotter motor so that way you dont break parts on every run...that wouldnt be fun.

i am not going to do hardcore bashing.. i just want STRONG.. this stuff seems the most beefiest out there.... this is helping me a lot but not a lot ( i am a frustrated newb)

rc4x4nut · 02.19.2005, 02:40 PM

LOL...I know how you feel. Trust me. I have an eye on several other RC trucks and buggys but I just cant make up my mind.

toby · 02.19.2005, 02:42 PM

i know i want an emaxx.. i know i wanna bash.. and i don't no anything else like which chassis or batteries ( i know the charger though now) which wheels or anytihng..... i just DON"T KNOW anything about this
