There is a y charging cable that will charge/balance both at the same time. No real need for two chargers.

It depends on what kind of battery plugs you have. All bullets or pig tails. A balance adapter can be bought or built to balance charge 2 2s packs at the same time. I will see if I can find one later, rcaccessory.com should have something. Or maybe TQracing.com

I am kind of biased. But from what I have seen on the track, the Serpent buggy is the closest you will get to running an 1/8 scale car that drives, turns and switches directions like a 1/10 4wd. I have driven the 811Be on an extremely small track made for 1/10th cars and I got around the track just fine and was actually faster than all the 1/10th scale cars on the track despite being ridiculously over powered. LOL Then when you get the car on a large outdoor track with the same exact setup it is extremely smooth and predictable. It never sounds like it has rocks in the gears like a lot of other cars.

The actual version of product will depend on what type of battery connectors you have. Some have all bullets, and some have pig tails and balance plugs.

Heres a way to make your own y. Take a 4s balance plus for this

Yep that is what you need, then when you take that off you can have your other wires to hook up to the speedo. Or you can actually just plug that straight into the speed control. You just have to be careful and not get all that wire close to a moving part.

I would suggest having bullets in your car the traxxas plug is just to plug into the charger lead i have.

We've been using the LRP 65822 2 x 2S Lipo charging/balancing (EH style plug) harness to charge our dual 2S as 4S packs for the Serpent's and now the XB9E's
