|  8.4V 5000mah nimh problem
I have been using my 7.2v1800 battery for awhile. That gave me lots of power and long lasting crawls. But i wanted to see how an 8.4v would be with that extra power. I bought a new battery and charged it up. When you floor it the 35t motor almost does a wheelie but if you put a load like a hill it goes for a half secound then nothing. All power shuts to the wheels. I used a multi meter and its giving a good volt reading???? whats the problem?

A fully charged 7 cell should be @ 10.5 volts, which is kinda close to the voltage of a nearly dead 3S LiPo. I can't run 7 cell packs in my SCX because the ESC auto-senses the voltage and won't even arm. 'Sokay, I got more 3S packs than I do 7 cells.  |

I have two chargers. Just realized that only one does up to 8.4v. I guess that was my dumb mistake. Dont take me as a noob.
