I had a feeling that was the case. You build the engine, Ill wire up the stereo system lmao

By the way
Thanks man you really have been a big help to me with all this new lipo electric rc stuff. Been running nitro since early 90s. But now with all this electric power it's crazy so much involved who knew lol. It's like starting all over from the beginning

I didn't know the Spektrum smart batteries had a balance lead. All the pics I have seen only show the power leads. Good to know. But likewise, they are still too pricey for me.

I didn't think so either. Like you said it only shows a power plug no balance lead. But I could definitely be wrong on this on

Yeah man any time always down to talk RC poop. The one thing I don't like about nitro. You are always chasing the tune depending on the weather and humidity. That's why I've been messing around with the electric side of things. But who knew that today's RC batteries lipo would be so crazy. I love math but my God to my variables to know and think of

Oh poop there it is. Now that's a different angle of the pics I never seen before thats cool. So then what's their smart technology about traxxas balance lead is built into the stupid plug. Is it basically the same thing. Their chargers pick up on their own battery for programming purposes I'm assuming

LOL, I mean i guess in order to use the SMART feature it would require a SMART charger? Thats some marketing BS going on right there I think.

Its the same exact thing as the Traxxas ID plug except traxxas doesn't have a seperate balance lead afaik. They trying to be super proprietary.

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. Oh well. I'm not falling for it. But, I do like the connectors
