need answer quick

[TwistedCreations]

yeah yeah, this is gonna be a stupid ass question, but i don't know the answer so............. :?


how in the hell do you charge batteries that have those Deans connectors on them? my buddy finally bought a truck and it came with them on it.. i have just an average charger and he wants me to charge them up for him since he don't have a charger.. but i asked the guy he bought it from and he mentioned something about alligator clips :? :?


so how do you exactly do it??


flame away

I always heard there were no stupid questions...


I use the other end of a deans connector!

Am I missing something here?

Maybe you need to make an adaptor?

[TwistedCreations]

well, he cuit the wires on both the EVX and the batteries and has Deans on both ends... i'll see if i can dig up some pics of it.heres one... those connectors are the same ones he has on the batteries.. so how do i plug them into my charger..my charger just has a normal plug on it

[TwistedCreations]

but like ya said, i guess he will have to buy another deans connector and then make it adapt to his charger when he gets one :? :?

[firstumustcrawl]

well you could make an adapter if you have a set of aligator clips take them and then solder then to a tamiya *standard plug* and then witht he gator clips just clip them inside the plug

[Grizzly4x4]

Best thing to do is make an adaptor with a Tamiya connector on one end and a deans on the other.

You can use a wire with an aligator clip at each end as a "jumper cable" to connect the charger plug to the deans connector. You will need one wire for + and one for -.

hey do you hear that its an echo...( echo echo echo ) lol also toyo i like your bag with the flowers on it, its cute do you bring that with you when you go crawlin?

[Grizzly4x4]

Grizz has several of those "adaptors" laying around.

I wouldn't ask him for an aligator clip though, he might not know what your refering to. Also wait for the smoke to clear.





BTW, tamiya connectors suck. Many times radio glitches can be traced to them damn tamiya connectors that are worn out and sparking internaly.

Hey, I found the picture didn't I? And yes I do have adaptors cuz I like Tamiya plugs, been using them for many, many, many years with no probs.
Ace just hates everything Tamiya and specially the plugs cuz he caint figure out how to unplug them.

I own more Tamiya Toys than you do Grizz...

Go to any serious R/C race and count the # of Tamiya plugs being used...
