next subject?

I just went from dual garodisks to the pin mod with garodiscs and my added front slipper.

The truck is great! TQ'd the qualifiers and took second in the main after messing up pretty badly in the first lap. I'm very happy with the druck on my bumpy outdoor dirt track. it is MUCH easier to drive.

Now I'm ready for more power.

I bumped my timing up on my castle 3800 from 10* to 15 degrees. I am now having some issues with the current draw. I melted the solder joint off my deans plug and I only have one battery that runs with this setup, a Gens Ace 5000 40c. the others cut out, like a lipo cut off but at near full charge.

I am sure the motor is drawing a ton of amps, but its not getting over 165 deg in 10 min of running.

I am considering soldering two plugs to the ESC and Bateries to share the load so i think I can solve that problem.

my question is, can anyone recommend a battery solution that will keep up with the amperage? I am considering:

1) two 3.7v 1/12 scale packs for their low CG. reedy makes a 6500 65c that would be perfect if it performs as adertised. or a pair of the orion 90c look tempting but that 90c rating looks too good to be true, and I just dont know if the 1/12 batteries are really designed for that much load.

2) The gens ace 6000 saddle packs, seem popular but I dont really want the hassle of trying to squeeze them under the belt. ( or the High CG).

3) two 7.4v shorty packs in parallel. (reedy 4000 60c)
I expect these would be beasts, but are they anywhere close to being legal in an intermediate 4x4 class?

besides, " thats too much timing for a four pole" does anyone have any recommendation on the connector and battery issue?
