well, i HAVE TOO! what am i going to do, NOT run in teh quallifiers or pray my 3800 lasts for 30 minutes of racing?? could i jsut disconnect the LVC from teh esc and rx?

[coolhandcountry]

I think you could do that disconnect thing. Never tried but sounds like a plan.

Well, you could do the disconnect thing, or install a bypass switch. To my knowledge, all a LVC does is interrupt the throttle signal wire and sends a neutral signal to the ESC instead. You could wire a switch on this one wire and bypass the whole LVC.

ahh, i arleady got a switch for ubec, i'll just unplug!

which selection is that? they only have MAH that goes from 200mah to 2500mah. Which one should i do? i dont want to ruin my packs.

SOME1 helP! my balancer has 3 pins, but they are in a 5-pin connecter. The pin on my limn has 3 pins. The prob is that the 3 pins on teh 5pin connecter is spred out, red and one black pin on teh left and one lonly black wire on the right! does it matter if i move the lonely pin next to the other pins so i cant fit it on the balencer. Also, it seems like the small rx style wire is hwere you charge? is this right PLEASE HELP ME FAST! I GOT sSOO MUCH STUFF TO DO for race and i dotn want ipos to not work

Get a picture of exactly what your talking about. I will try and find out what I can on the Apache 2500 for ya. What balancer are you using?

[squeeforever]

Ok, on the Apache, there is a lead for the power supply, its the ones with aligator clips and there is a battery lead with some sort of plug on it. Put your Deans, Powerpole, etc. on there and charge through that using a Y harness. Be sure to set the jumpers to 2500mah and 4S. Also, the balancer(s) hook to the taps of the batteries. I'm not sure what your talking about with the wires, but chances are you either need to buy an adapter (should have come with them) or you need to make an adapter. Its not really hard, but I need to know what balancer(s) your using...

LOK AT THE PIC! it looks like tis charging that way, is that the way it should be?

[squeeforever]

OK I'LL LOK AT THE PIC! lol...Anyway, how many did you order? 1 or 2? If one, you need to make an adapter to balance them both at the same time or just charge both to about 90% capacity and then do them individually to 100% with the balancer (if you need 100% capacity). If two, then just charge the packs through the Deans with the charge and hook the taps of the batteries up to the balancers and don't worry about the input. That balancer is made to charge/balance inline. Or, since you will only be charge at 2.5 amps, simply charge both packs at the same time using a Y adapter on the charger going into the two balancers (if you got two like you implied) and then the taps of the batteries going into each charger so they are being charged at the same time but being balanced by 2 difference balancers. Understand? Basically just tell me whether you have 1 or 2 balancers...

[nbcaznmaster]

i have one ballencer, though do i CHARGE teh way they do in teh pic? with teh charge wire from apache, connecitn to balencer?

[nbcaznmaster]

IS THAT the way i should charge? Also, the pins never lined up so i moved it so it does, but now it says "ERROR CHARGE" on the apache

[nbcaznmaster]

or is it supposte to be setup up like this, or this
