    Arrma 4600mah NiMh battery Question

    Hi By any chance does anyone know what the C ratings would be for the Arrma 4600mah NiMh battery back? I put mine into my Pro MT 4x4 with a WP-SC8 ESC, and 2100kv motor, and the battery got really hot after one short run, and I figure the C rating may have been way to low for the WP-SC8.

    ESC and Battery Connectors

    I promise I'm not trolling! What connectors are people running and why? I'm mostly thinking max 2-3S, as the 4-6S systems are out of my price range. I was originally thinking of using Dean's/Tee in the future simply because the Mega 4x4 come stock with them. A negative I have found with this...

    Battery Charging

    Do you guys balance charge every time or maybe do it every other? I read balance charging is a little more stressful on the battery and can reduce its life span.

    XT90 difficult to disconnect

    This seems like a really dumb question to me but am I the only one who finds disconnecting the XT90 connectors to be a major pain in the ash? Does anyone grease them with some di'eletric grease or have some other solution for a disconnect that requires much less effort?

    Good battery choice?

    So, since I'll soon be buying the kraton, I was wondering what battery I should use. Is it better to get 2 3s's, or just single 6s batteries? And also, which brand of lipo? Same goes for 4s batteries, if I'll ever use those.
