    Got that need for speed?

    Tony sent me a birthday greeting saying he hoped I got all the RC stuff I wanted. To my surprise, it wasn't a form letter, but a real email.

    Yes sir, I'm running 2 6cells in series. Also have a CC Phoenix Ice 2 HV 80 for the esc. I think I will take a trip to the local Radio Scrap and pick up said resistor and give it a try as I'v got the series connector already made. Thanks for the reply and I'll let ya know how it goes.

    ESC HOW TO - stop your BAtteries Arcing out when connecting up!

    Been looking at this spark thing for a bit. Don't mind the 6cell spark so bad, but not fond of the 12cell hit! Here's what I came out with and would love your input. For my 600EFL, a series connector with Deans on the battery side, so I don't have to switch my batts. and charger, and 5mm bullets...

    Thanks Breeze. Also put a cheap video camera onboard the 500E. Does get some really good video for $30.00 unit. But sound coming from the inside sounds like a huge jet engine in there.
