I have had 1 issue with the trakpower packs during charge, the wire that the smaller bullet plugs into, the 2mm connector, got very warm inside the case and melted the insulation on the wire. Lots of smoke but no real damage, I just replaced the wire.

I sold all of those packs, but if I had kept them I would have just replaced the plugs with some 12 gauge wire and a deans plg, and put a rear balancer harness on as well.

I went out for a drive on pavment and i had alot of shut downs, Not due to heat but due to the connections. I think that the banna plugs are crap. I bypassed the switch so every time im take it out and plug back in it turn on again.

What should i do with the conectors?
And does anyone think i should explore the inside of the case to see if anything is barley soldered?
