Thumbs up TX question?

Ok so i came up with a idea, but i dont want to go ripping shit apart and it not go as to planned

Remember these?

The little batteries you use to get in the radio shack/ walmart trucks lol

ANYWAYS what if i were to take a controller apart put a male plug inside of it and connect it with the female of this battery you think it would work just as the eight batteries a traxxas TX

suggestions or maybe so support would be nice before i die here lol

As long as the voltage is the same (which it should be) and the physical size fits you are good to go. People do it with lipo batteries all the time.

You're gonna use it in a Traxxas Tx? I wouldn't recommend the use of Lipo unless you have a way to watch the Voltage. Like a Dx3R or something with a Display screen.

If you use a lipo just get a low voltage alarm like this:

Super cheap simple way to monitor voltage.
