Can you solder? Since these packs come with 5.5mm bullets and the Flux esc will have Deans on it.

i used to have the hobby store do all my soldering, because i couldn't do it very well. then, i found out that flux helps a ton and since i got some flux and a better iron, my soldering is near perfect and 8awg is nothing now.
there are also a few soldering videos that i watched that helped too.

back on subject, those are the exact lipos that i run in my flux when i run 4s and they have been great. they usually take the full 5200-5400 back even with my lvc set at 3.4v. these batteries along with most newer, lower resistance packs like a higher cutoff such as 3.4v/cell or even 3.5.


They say a good mechanic only needs 2 tools - WD40 & Duct tape. If it moves, and its not supposed to, duct tape. If it doesn't move, and its supposed to, WD40.

well, if you stick with stock gearing and avoid giant tires, those batteries should last you muuuch longer than both sets of those POS SMC lipos. i have 4 of them and they are all still going strong after about 8 months. my truggy stresses batteries a lot more than my flux and they are fine in my truggy and don't break a sweat in the flux. you are good to go!
