    Battery configuration? Series's or Parallel?

    I'm runnin a 1600kv and 180amp esc, I use to have a stock formula fastech that and am use to that set up positive to negative on the bateries then positive to negative on the esc, can I do the same with the 5mm bullets? On the new set up? Or is that wiring not ok? I plan I runnin 2 5s 5000 packs thanks

    That will give you 10s1p which is too much for 1600kv, you need to wire the 5s packs red to red and black to black for 5s2p, or run the packs separately for half the run time twice as often.

            That is one hell of a great job on the wrapping . I could never shrink wrap them properly and the liquid plastic dip isn't great either. Care to share your secrets?

              Those pretty ones are not mine,
              These are one set of mine below with just shrink wrap on them.

                They look better than mine and I like the watermelon shrink wrap.
