Status: offline 		Would anyone be willing to share schematics for assembling 6 cell (7.2 Volt) flat style and 7 cell (8.4 volt) hump style design and wiring schematics and assembly instructions for making your own battery packs used in RC electric trucks?

Status: offline 		Although I don't have any pics, all you need to do is take each battery in turn, and join them in series to make up the voltage by joining up each positive to the next cells negative.
When you have joined each one together plus to minus, plus to minus etc......, then you will use the first cells negative and the last cells positive for your wires to be connected to, to give you the 7.2v from the six cells.
You will also need to use some heatshrink sleeving to wrap around the whole assembly to prevent any short circuits.

The 8.4v is just the same, except you just add another battery into it

Just a word of warning if you are soldering them together, which you probably are.
Use a very good hot iron, and when soldering each cell, use the absolute minimum of time on each one, so that you run less risk of damaging the cells by excessive heat transfer, which can destroy a cell in seconds.

I've had a good day if I bring it back home in the same amount of pieces it left the house in.
