Cable Polarity Question
Guys ,sorry for the question but I am really stumbled by this one, I have been always charging my M8 controller battery with the M8 original charger and few days ago that stupid charger gave up on me. That should be easy since I have multi battery charger and just cut the wire connector and connect it to the charger. However to my surprise, I realize that the wire is black and black with white lining which does not correspond with standard of red and black. I could not measure the "damn thing either " as the original charger is dead. Anyone know polarity of this cable ? I presume black should be comm and black with white lining should be +, errrrr but then again , who knows.... Guys please help

also, i have no experience with nitro onroad, other than breaking in my friends .15, and ill need advice from you guys. what engine should i get for the 710? im thinking of something cheap, and quite fast, around the $150 usd mark. Also what starter box do you guys recommend for this car.

As for starter box, anyone will do.
Of course the Serpent one (1400G) is light, compact and small. A little expensive though but the mountings are perfect.

Difficult to check them unless you take out each dogbone and spin the wheels by themselves... They should rotate smooth.

I probably should have run it as a standard 710 to tell the difference but it's good to have something different.

he said that he only used it to break in his ns12 engine, and is in mint condition. it comes with a set of gq tires and 3 rx packs, and a pipe, i offered $350 cdn which is roughly $256usd and hes willing to let it go, but i am pending on a deal for an rtr team tc3 with graphite and threaded shocks and starter box and jr xr2 radio... so i am having a dilemma.
