Can someone Help me buy lipos for my first setup?

[speedemall]

would it be safe to run two 3s packs side by side with a Y harness? I really don't want most of the weight on one side of the chassis from using a 6s pack. Any benefit running one setup over the other,both packs being identical on the dual setup? Obviously it would be easier to charge one pack being that I have only one charger and won't have to wait for two.

Side by Side would be great if you have the room. 2x 3s lipos 5000 mah or 2x 6s lipos 2500 mah. if you have the room.

It wouldnt be "THAT" off weight with 1 lipo, approx. 850 grams for a 6s 5000 lipo,... otherside 340g for a 1515, 50g for a servo etc..


some here have pics of their buggys/truggys with dual RCM trays and the RCM mount on the front diff mount so the motor sits at the front drivers side... Cant find a pic ATM..

I have an equinox ,would I have to get another balancer for a 6s? If so what do you recommend??

Yep, the equinox is only good for 5s. I like the hyperion lba10. What charger do you have?

an ICE

Well an ICE can only do 4s lipo, so you can stick with the equinox. Have you done the high current mod to the equinox yet? It will allow you to charge at 5 amps thru it. Pretty easy, as you as you have a soldering iron and half a clue...

AWWWW!!! So that means I need another charger,I knew it. I MUST have something to charge a 6s pack,my configuration only allows me to fit a single pack. I had no clue about the high current mod but I'm interested. Do you have pics or a link to a tutorial??
