Status: offline 		I bought a Triton Jr. and Equinox balancer. I have a couple electrifly packs, and of course the balancing plugs match up fine with the Equinox.

I also have 2 TP 3-cell 1320 packs which have the little red(futaba-looking) connector and the TP balancing lead.

Does anyone make an adapter to A) allow me to connect the TP pack's balancing plug to the equinox and B) an adapter that allows me to use the TP pack with my Electrifly speed control?

Also, I have read that it's not necessary to balance the pack every time you charge it. How often do you balance your packs?

Status: offline 		I balance mine every charge, but it's not neccisary per say, especially with Tp packs because they are matched. The way I look at it though, if I have a balancer why not do it every pack.

A yes check out www.commonsenserc.com get a v2 TP adaptor

B not sure, what is the connector on the electrifly esc? deans or something?

Status: offline 		It looks like a deans connector. It's large, red, and has two gold spades on it oriented perpendicular to each other.

Status: offline 		just cut the end off your battery and solder on a deans connector and heatshrink it =) Do it one lead at a time so they don't short or anything, and make sure the heat doesn't follow up the wire to the battery too much
