Hi Will
I thought they were A123 cells? As stated in your post...

Colin,

They are They are the smaller size cells (A123) the ones you would use in a TC car are larger in size and will not fit on the axles... I charged those at 1.5amps I can't remember how long it took to charge maybe 30mins, but heck I would run a full day with that one pack..!

Hi Will
Not to complicate things but I had the impression that the rig came with A123 LiFe cells not NiMh cells the price difference are a good $50... Will be back in Singapore tomolo... Will check with the post office when I get back with regards to the package



Colin,

No, I am sorry I have never used lipos. What is seen in the pictures is all I have used minus the various chassis' that I have tried out with the AX10. I just know them as A123 cells thats what all the crawler guys would call them. I have never even used lipos. Like I said charge these at 1.5amps and they will last a very long time. Run times are incredibly long plus the added weight is really needed up front. Sorry for any confusion Colin.




Am i getting smoked!!!!
