Because I have 4 packs. Why weigh down the vehicle needlessly instead of just stopping for a minute to change the pack?

I'll be running mine in parallel just to make life easier for the batteries, splitting the load. I'm sure one can handle it by itself, but it'll be even easier with two.

That and I hate stopping to change packs.

But I don't ever have to hassle with trying to balance multiple packs to be used together for mine.

Good point. I am used to sync charging packs with my Hyperion Duo, so I'll just always treat the pairs as one pack like I do with my larger E-Revo packs.

I'm attempting to temporarily fix the a-arm myself using a trick my friend told me about today: Glue the two pieces together. Wrap the break tightly with dental floss. Glue the dental floss to the break. It's worth a shot I guess to get by until replacement parts come around.
