Is it OK to use A123 stock tabs?

[tino_ale]

Hi all,

I've snagged a Dewalt 36V A123 pack and I'm going to make two 3S1P pack from it. I want to use them in a VXL Rustler for some serious power

I was wondering if I could keep the 4-points welded tabs that come stock to make my packs. I know in theory it would be better to remove them and solder "real" thick tabs, but really, that would make it so much easier to go with the stock tabs.

If you have tried and have an experience with this, PLEASE share your info!

Anyone know how much current the stock tabs can handle? I don't mind if it is not 100% optimal, as long as it works and run fine...
