Venom makes a nice 5 cell sub c 3300 pack I use for mine it was about $35.00 US
If your charger will charge 5 cell packs you can remove one cell from a 6 cell 7.2 pack just fine.

I made mine myself


just goto an electronics store and buy 5 sub C cells with solder tabs, they are ike $5 each. solder them together- add wires, and plugs wallah! easy

1500mah is prob on the low side, try to steer towards atleast 2000+ mah :-)

If you can get a 3000 or more it would be great. A 805 servo takes about 800Mah alone so yo wnat something that will last. Since these 1/6,1/5 have such a long runtime and use lots of torque you want to make sure they are not starved for power. I bought 10 cells on ebay for $20 and made 2 packs myself.

The problem with 7.2V packs is that most servos and receivers can't handle the power. Last thing you want to burn out is you electronics.

I built a 5-cell 3700 RX pack with RX connectors. I also added the female adapter so it can be charged without removing from the truck (which seems to be a pain in the butt).

We (United RC) will start selling these on our site...very soon!
