These packs like to be charged at 1.0-1.5 amps. Look at the output of the traxxas charger and see what it is. Lower amp rating is ok but it will take longer. Higher will overheat the pack and nimh packs do not like heat.

i never use a fast charger for any NIMH packs, i use a normal JR charger (the one that comes with any airplane TX) i charge them 12 hours before the race, i use one for the quals while the 2nd is charging and for the 45min Amain, i put the newly charged one. our Nats Final was a 60min race, still no issues.

hope this helps

cheers
ALi
Man Ali thats a monster pack that should last aaaaaaawhiiiiiiiiiile.
