Has anyone made there own harness to double battery an esc? I've seen where they just triangle tie each three red terminals as well as black. I'm trying to make my own jumper harness to play with the car a couple runs. I need to know what wire to use as well as to find some crimpable battery connectors? Banana style for the redcat esc and hexfly batteries

In series? If you don't want to solder, just get one premade.

Do you know know which will work with blackout pro bannana connectors? They are 4.mm connectors and correct size and length? These parallel double line so you can run without the other if need be but it won't over juice another battery will it? They have a "series" and a "parallel" do you know which to be the better idea or more so correct? Thanks for the link

Series if you want more voltage.
Parallel if you want more runtime.

If unsure what you want, do a bit more research, and see what you electronics can handle.

Is this the correct series connector for redcats hexfly batteries . So youre positive it's 4.00mm banana connectors? I need for a series with redcats hexfly batteries on Amazon? I'm going to attempt to hook up a 2s and 3s to make 5s for a couple speed runs. Thanks. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01LY...f7L&ref=plSrch

It's a redcat blackout pro. Did 30mph stock battery but would spin around loose gravel. Did 46 mph 3s in a long school parking lot. 140-150 degree 2s and 170 degrees on 3s. Does slow down in Grass speed runs

What ESC are you using ?
I dont think the Redcat ESC will handle 5S .

Stock blackout pro esc 3s max read the manual here

That would be the connector you would need, but like I/others said/asked before...is your ESC and motor up for the task?

Even when doing such a thing as connecting two packs in a series, I'd be making sure I had batteries that have the same specs, i.e., same voltage, same capacity, same "C" rating. If you don't have two packs that are the same, I think you'll be asking for trouble.

I gonna go out on a limb and say the 5S think aint happening on a Blackout unless you bolt on some other serious "hop-ups". Probably at least a 3670 motor and belted tires to start with.
