    Running parallel batteries

    How are you guys running your batteries in parallel for 2p setups ? What is the best way you have seen to connect/disconnect and still charge them with ease?

    Gary, I'm sure there are a number of ways to accomplish this. This is how I do it.
    Works for my 4S2P setups.

      This is an example of how I do the Hydra 240. You can do the same thing on ESCs that have single power leads buy adding a wire to each lead.

            I have my moments Tony. It's just a shame that they are so few and far between.
