|  Air Hogs LiPo Battery pack use w/ AX10 Hey guys, I have a bunch of LiPo battery packs from my Air Hogs Storm Launcher. I was wondering if I can wire these things to use on my stock Scorpion. They are 7.4V, 740MAH. I was thinking of wiring a couple of pairs in series, and then wiring the pairs together in parallel. Anyone know if this will work? Thanks for any help. |

| parallel would be fine but unless you have an esc that can handle 4c lipo's going series will kill your esc.  Other than that I would say go for it. |

| Would you be able to charge and balance them if you do that? |

| Ahh, I'd like to see how it works out. I'd also like to know what esc your going to use. |

| What C rating do they have? I would be afraid of pulling too much juice and popping them. If they are all in parallel you should get a slightly higher mah and C rating though. |

| But that would be a combined C rating while each pack would still only be discharging its regular current. Putting the packs in parallel would increase the mAh rating however much each pack is. 4 packs each at 740 mAh would yeild a 2960 mAh total. |

I'm new to all of this, so please excuse my ignorance, but what do you mean by a "jumper"? I have a Prophet Plus charger, and I'm not sure if it will work for LiPo. If I wire these toghether, I won't be able to use the Air Hogs chargers either. | |
