Turnigy 5000mAh 3S 25C Lipo Packs?

If you get an adapter you can hook the two packs up as one and use a normal balance charger. That's what I do... Then hit it with the blinky.

college??? I have yet to escape high school...

I'd rather keep using my power supply for charging, it's much more flexible and can be controlled from a computer... it also has a nice screen with set volts/amps, and actual output volts/amps/watts. I like it.

And why do they not have balancers at hobbycity?? I don't get this?

What about this one? Do I need adapters or anything?

The chargers at hobbycity balance the packs as they charge - as most lipo chargers do. If you buy a new lipo charger, you'll have a built in balancer 99% of the time. I have a balancing charger and a blinky. When it comes off the charger, it is usually perfectly blanced, but I use the blinky to make sure and I use it after runs.

What about this one? That, and the 3 cell to 6 cell adapter, that should work right.

This is the power supply I am looking at as well, I thought I would go for a larger psu just to be future proof.

Anyone else got these?
This 10awg wire is just over kill... You need right tools to solder that big wire, i used pyropen without any nozzle to heat up bullet connector and that way i was able to solder connectors, without damaging battery with heat.

I use a 300watt soldering iron for stuff like that, 5 seconds warm up and it can melt through anything, and it's like you said, easier on things like batts, speed controller, etc. Get in and get out.

I think everything should be coming with 10awg wire now IMO. Add that extra edge of voltage holding ability, especially on LV setups of 4s or less. But it just won't heat up and will also act as a heatsink to suck heat away from batts, ESC, or motor. Just my two pennies.
