well, the pack is still holding voltage, although it is vented and smelly. and of course nothing can be complete without some ducttape! i was going to probaby make a small lexan casing for it, and tape it to the bottom of the DS with leads soldered to the battery port of the DS, and deans so I can use my lipo charger... although, since im just replacing one lithium battery with another, and they are both 1 cell, 3.7v couldnt I charge via the DS/ac adapter? it might take a while, but hey, when you have 20+ hours of runtime...
In other news, today is my birthday! I got my RC-M 2s2p hardcase lipos today, with a nice harness made up! They are amazing! only thing I have to criticize is that unlike shown in the picture and description, only one end of my wires had bullets on only one end instead of both. I'm glad i got these because I almost killed the rest of my pro tek lipo! Little did I know that with a 13t pinion and 46t spur, in my car, it went from a top speed of 43 to 69 mph, pulling 126 amps constantly... And here I am running the 20c(80 amp cont.) in my car, with full throttle 95% of the time for the entire run... the lipo didnt cool down for 2 hours, but suprisingly, all the cells survived! Also, My fake badlands came here today! which is also good because running the hyper overgeared turned my Jamin shredders into slicks in a single run! Now all I have to wait for is my mmm combo(ordered 12/8/08) that is my xmas present, my proline revolver v3's, and my new lipo charger!
