Changing connectors and 7.2 Lipos

Oct 6, 2010 1:08am
Ok, so I purchased an AK74mn, and it only takes an 8.4 mini type battery, would it strain the internals if I put a 7.2 lipo in it instead of an 8.4? I only need the 8.4's ROF, but want the lipo's battery life. In addition, can I change Traxxas connectors to Tamiya?

no changing to a 7.2 lipo wont hurt anything. as long as your gonna change the connector you might as well change to deans connectors especially if you plan on using lipo

Great, do you know where I can get a lipo for cheaper than 40$? I do't want to spend anything over that at the moment.
