I have a RC drift car coming in soon that is just beautiful and a great battery, but it is Fantom 7000mAh 7.4 2S 70C Comp. Lipo Battery Pack-Traxxas and I can't find a charger for it. I do not know what type of charger I need for it and This is my first year of doing RC cars.

Oh wow! Alright, thank you so much
It's a bullet plug pack so you can use any ordinary lipo charger. Highly recommend the hota d6 pro. You will just need 2s xt60 to 5mm bullets like these which do have the balance port in them and you'll be set up.

Make sure you select the XT60 to 4mm/5mm bullet option. When I followed the link it had a different cable selected.

And welcome to RCTalk Jacob 😉
 
also I would highly suggest .... on your battery if it's not already done .... make the 4/5 mm hole clearly visible as to which is + and - ...... I use bright red and white finger nail polish put a dab AROUND(not in the hole) to color code them ... red is obviously + and white is - ..... because you can very very very easily hook them up backwards in a hurry ... and this is not a good thing on most esc ... some have polarity protection ... but not all of them !

They also make stickers for that reason too.

If this keeps up, RCTALK.COM stickers will be sold as "cheats" until ROAR outlaws them! 🤙🏻👍🏻🤣
heck roar can't make it's mind up on half the things that shouldn't be allowed vs stuff that should .... they would probably outlaw the battery the stickers were on on
