a bit pricy but light and premade

as long as you don't do it on a steel work bench or chew on them in between joints you'll be fine, if you buy two 2 cell packs and make them into a 3 cell it will be easier as the tabs are already tinned and easy to make a good joint with. however when making your own packs you should balance charge them the first time.

sounds a bit dodgy for someone with my capabillitys. they also seem quite heavy at 32g may stick to my 12g 7.4v
btw here is the new deodorANT:

Third one down, the 180mah 11.1v, 23g. It'll probably be lighter than that if you shorten the leads. A bit expensive, but its a good battery.

Haz I noticed on the video you said you were considering going up to three cells if you are running the HP motors my controllers are only rated at 8.4v.

[haz]
