Dual Battery Pack Installation and Power Connections
q Solder two 4mm female Bullet connectors onto each battery pack.
If you're using hard-case Li-Po car battery packs with preinstalled 4mm female
Bullet connectors, you can skip this procedure.
q Make an adapter using a short length of 12 AWG silicone wire [approximately
100mm ~ 150mm (4" ~ 6") depending on the battery packs used] with one 4mm
male Bullet connector soldered onto each end. This adapter will allow you to connect
your two battery packs in series.
q Slide your battery pack into the battery holder, then pull the two battery retaining
straps tight to hold your battery pack securely in place.
In some cases, if the battery retaining straps are left too long, they can interfere
with the correct t of the body shell. If this occurs, cut away the excess material
from the battery retaining straps prior to installing the body shell.
q With the ESC On/Off switch in the 'OFF' position (forward), plug the battery leads
into the ESC battery leads, making sure that the polarity is correct. Positive (red) to
positive (red) and negative (black) to negative (black).

The adapter will be used whether you're using hard-case Li-Po car battery packs or standard Ni-Cds, Ni-MHs, or Li-Pos.
q Verify that the ESC On/Off switch is turned 'OFF'.
To ensure your safety, it's important that the ESC be turned 'OFF' when connecting
your battery pack(s).
