ok...this is probably a stupid question, but I was wondering if you could fit a 8.4v sub-c batt. pack into an mp5a4? or is a sub-c too big?

mp5a4...yes...

so 7 sub-c's will fit...is that the one they sell at aex for $30?

well i've got a battery that is like a half millimeter too big for my stock....how can i adjust my stock to fit that battery in? i believe its the same size as the "large" classification batteries which should fit into my tm high grade mp5a4 but it doesnt...any help with customizing to fit large batteries is greatly accepted.

Conner, If it is JUST too big to fit it may be the way you are routing your wires at the end. If not, you could trim the plastic bar inside your stock to make some more room.

Li-Po might be a little extreme and expensive for some. But on everything else, listen to the RC car guy! They know their poop.

wheres a good place to get batteries for a decent price that peak charge to the right voltage?

[quote="Rcas"]wheres a good place to get batteries for a decent price that peak charge to the right voltage?[/quote]well im guessing any hobby store for rc cars will have the right size...im just not sure though.

hobbytown u.s.a. still has 'em i think

Well if you'd like to get batteries that peak properly, then you'd need to get matched packs (each cell is identical to one another, same discharge time to a certain volt, capacity, internal resistance, and blah blah blah). They could run anywhere from around 60 to 130 bucks for a 7 cell pack. It all depends on how good the numbers are.

[quote="Ray"]You may as well go Lithium at prices like that.[/quote]

[quote="Ray"]Very serious man. I had almost everybody doing it at the track. I'm sure everyone at the track would be doing it if they had the right charger.[/quote]

It's a Competition Electronics T35. Very programable/informative charger. If you cycle a cell or pack on it, it'll give you all the info you need on that pack or cell (discharge rate, Mah, internal resistance, and again, blah blah blah).

How many batteries and at what mAh do people usualy need for a day?

i saw this topic and it caught my attention...i had a quick question about batteries for a mp5 also...soo if ya dont mind i need some peoples knowledge..ok..well for a mp5sd5..would i have to stick with a 8.4 volt battery ??or can i use something higher in volts??like a 9.6??or soo??and which would be best??

pm me for details on all batter/voltage/usage questions please...

i sell 123a bats brand new 4 cheap

thats funny that we got onto the discusion of rc cars...and hobby town.

how long do i charge a 1800 mah nicad?

huh??? i couldn't tell you that cuz I don't use chargers with timers...it also depends on how many amps you are charging it at...but for a 1800 it would be charged at around 4 amps and discharged at 20 amps or less...if that was like a test of me working at a hobby shop...then you should come by and visit :D...I do work with eric and edd...(if anyone here knows them) I even got pics of my stuff if you wanna see it
