    Very helpful. I couldn't figure out how to start charge for after market Lipo. Didn't know you had to hold both buttons down to initiate. Only used NiMH until now.

    I like the Traxxas battery having the integrated balancing leads. Using adaptors is basically what I do now but honestly it seems better to just have all my 3s cars and batteries interchangeable with my cars without using adaptors. I think the adaptors probably don't increase the resistance by much and you probably wouldn't see any real voltage drop but intermittent connections might be an issue. Great job showing us how to replace a connector safely. I just wish someone would come up with better plugs that you can actually grab onto when unplugging.

    Great video. I haven't been in the hobby for 20 years, and only in nitro. Looking to get back in with electric RC, and this cleared up my confusion with Traxxas batteries

    Hello all! I'm just getting back into the RC thing, just for fun. I purchased a nearly new 2021 1/10 scale Slash 4x4 Snap-On edition. I got the original battery & charger with it. I want to purchase a couple more batteries but would like to save some $$$ if possible. What are some of the best 3rd party options these days? Thanks in advance!

    Wouldn't it have been easier if you just got a Deans to TRX adapter instead of a "permanent" alternation to the battery? Plus the adapter can be removed and used again if you have multiple batteries.

    You should do an updated video on the mods you have done to your slash

    The one guy that I been looking for. I have one question. I want to buy a traxxas x maxx, the $999 one. But batteries are too high. What style of connectors the x maxx uses. And would it be best to get an adapter or solder a connector like you did to the battery. I will not be doing any bashing or hard-core. Just speed race. More like a drag race and cruising

    I've already done that, and the batteries don't seem to be fully charged.

    If I have a 6500 mah battery, would I just charge at 3? And just miss out on that extra 500 mah capacity?

    Ugh ...great instructions, just getting two flasing red lights and will not charge after like 1 minute...that's it. HRB 7000MAH LiPo.

    Instead of last 1 hour lasts 30 minutes
