Thanks all for the response.

I have borrowed a Trinity discharger from a friend and will try it later tonight, he said it will take them all ot .9 volts. I will also solder of some new lead for the charger\battery. I use Deans plugs.

So these packs are crap? The guy on ebay said they were in "like new" condition He also included 10 sets of tires that are useless, would be lucky to get half a run ouf of them. Now I have to hunt down some packs before tomorrow

So the steps to discharge\charge the battery are:
1. Use the charger to discharge.
2. Use Tray to finish discharge.
3. Use charger to charge at 5A.

Is this correct? Then after this I should cycle to see the discharge rate?

Also, I have a brand new 1900mAh batter that came with the charger, would this provide as much power as the 3300 for a stock motor, what about runtime?

Thanks
