I have a question about saddle packs
An b5m I've been eyeing come with 2 3.7.v 5600mah lipos. How do I charge them? I have a thunder charger ac680. Do I charge them like: the positive and negative connecting the 2 and hooked up to my charger by the positive from 1 batt and the neg from the other @5.6amps? Or do I have to charge them 1 at a time at 5.6a?
Seems like a simple easy question but I just want to be sure.

No reason to buy a new charger. The adapter Rusty posted above could easily be replicated and have a main connector added to it instead of using alligator clips. Here's a wiring diagram showing the end result that you want. And you can buy balance leads to create your own adapter just make sure you get the right one to fit your chargers balancer. I usually get them from cheapbatterypacks.com but I think tower has them too.

So zackS30 is thinking about the B5M. Gonna go race?
I am waiting to get a new 1/10 ride, and a lot of stuff (racing type platforms) I look at/think about getting is mid-motor/saddle pack oriented. Sign of the times I guess. I was hoping the T5M would have a brother/sister (a T5 rear motor) that would accept regular LiPo packs. I don't think it's gonna happen though. Nothing against saddle/square pack vehicles, it's just that I have crap loads of "stick" packs to use up on a loose; outdoor dirt track.
