|  Venom Battery Problems
I have a new Venom 3000mah Nimh battery that works fine in my crawler. It gives me over an hour run time with no problems. I charge the same battery and put it in my Traxxas Rustler and it runs until I hit a bump then it loses all power. I disconnect the battery and reconnect it and the power is back. Ok I think bad ESC or connector so I put two other Nicd batteries in my Rustler tp see and have no problems. What could be causing this? I know this isn't exactly crawler related but I figured you guys would know. Thanks!

Those are the batteries I run. Are you still using Tamiya plugs? I've had issues w/ the plugs before. Switch to deans... That should fix that problem. |

The plugs have given me issues before, until I switched to deans.

How long do your batteries last before they are completely dead, not just out of charge. I had two and one died after about 1 year and another after 1 year and it just died like a week ago. now i have nothing to start my savage with. My other ones won't work.
