"solder properly" was the key word....i have buddy's that claim they can solder....but we all know what a poor joint looks like....ALL frayed and or too much solder...or even worst a cold solder that's waiting to fail.

Take your pick.
But wasn't this about LiPo batteries?
I've been thinking of taking two 2s packs and wiring them in parallel.

If i started a new thread somebody would have said something about starting a thread about starter box batteries when there is already a thread started! Sorry to cut into your "lipo thread". I appreciate the help thats what i was looking for.

everyone knows that 5000 mah is the same thing is 5 ah right?
i know 5000 sounds better than 5 but come on people, its 5 amp hours.

Your recommended change does not change the intent of my statement:
Now w/the new syntax:
Anyone know if the change, to remove a cell from series; would work?
Now w/the new syntax:
I wonder how much juice a 750 motor can take.
Thinking of getting a used 5A 5s pack, removing a cell, and using that.

removing a cell is somewhat easy to do if you've ever taken apart a lipo...just be careful and save the crazy tape they use to wrap it back up when done.
4s 5000's are perfectly fine for most any starter box on the market.

yes, if you remove a cell from series, then the voltage will drop to minus the cells votage. if you remove a cell from parrallel, the you will drop the capacity....mah.
removing a cell is not reccomended. every manufacturer will tell you not to modify the pack in any way.
just remeber this, some packs are configured with cells in parallel with each other, and then in series with another set of parallel cells.
so be very careful. a 5s pack that is 5000mah may need 2 lower capacity cells to make the 5000mah cpacity, therefore being 10 cells thick. i doubt this is the case on a pack of this size, i see it in smaller packs.
i have a common sense rx lipo that is 7.4 volts, and it is 4 cells thick. which means it is 2s2p which means 2 cells in parallel that are in series with another set of 2 cells in parallel.
hope this helps.
