Battery packs

[BADNBADN]

I have an x-t. I wanna put a rechargeable battery for the reciever and servos. Which is the best to buy/ How do i charge the pack? Do the packs come with chargers? I have a charger for my electric will it work?

The best receiver pack that I"ve seen is the ofna 1400.
They do not come with chargers.
What kind of charger do you have?

is it a Losi XXX-T electric truck? I would make my own pack as it is cheap and a very valuable skill. Here is their link for premades http://www.batterieswholesale.com/battery_packs.htm but Peep this article!

I have ordered a TON of batteries from these fellow in Austrailia and it is cheap and easy.

Awesome article HB! I've always thought about making my own packs but didn't really know how to go about it.

The charger is a Black Widow Pro, Ni-Mh/Ni-Cd peak detector

Buliding my own packs seems a little much for me. I 'd rather just buy a good pack.

Do I need a switch that has a charging wire?

Not a Losi, it is a Traxxas Rustler.

Hey thanks for the article, I've been looking for some info on building my own packs.

You dont need a charging wire the battery should connect right to your charger, I just recently found a charging jack switch for my rustler, with it you dont have to remove the pack to charge it (traxxas part #3034).
