and work from their! "thumbsup"

Alrighty, well i have never messed around with loose cell batteries and making my own packs etc. So what do i look for in regards to individual voltage, mAH, weight(since i will be using them for weight distribution and traction).

you can get cbp to make a complete battery pack for you that will work with your application email them and ask some questions they have all your awnsers also john rob holmes can help to! "thumbsup"
If you want to practice, taking apart an old junk pack is a great way to start soldering. If you dont feel up to the challenge (it isn't the easiest task to start a soldering career) I have prebuilt packs for the front of your rig http://holmeshobbies.com/product.php?productid=140&cat=0&page=1 -- they use deans plugs.
Yeah, totally cool then. Dont let the iron sit on the cell for more than a second, and make sure you use a 60w iron or higher. Dont use a soldering gun, the tip doesn't hold enough heat.
Are they sub-C packs? 2/3a fits for sure
Yeah, that would be sub-C.
Oh well i ordered 2 sets of your saddle packs anyway! Thanks for the feedback. One question, since i did buy two sets, if i wired them together would that give me longer run times. Example: Each set is 1500mAH so both wired together would that be the same as a 3000 mAH battery pack? Probably a stupid question but better to ask anyway.
As long as you had them wired in parallel, yes you would double the runtime.
Yep, they are ready to plug in. You could always make a harness for them, or have somebody else make a parallel harness. I say keep one pack in your back pocket and swap em out when the other dies down.
No problemo.
