E revo 1 1/16 lipo
I need help. I have a 1 16 e revo and 2 1800mah lipos and series connector. I plug them all in fully charged and the light on the esc blinks green and red, green and red over and over. I don't have a manual, bought it used. Both batteries work alone but not together. Any ideas???

2s in series is too much for the stock esc. Thats running 4s lipos and it can only handle 2s or 3s, ive read that you can run them in NiMih mode but you need a external lvc. I run my 2s lipos in parallel and usually get about 45-50 minute run times and its a great power combination its not stupid fast

How fast would you say the 2s in parallel are?

LIPO must be in parallel if 2 batteries are used, get 11.1 volt batteries. It will blow Nimh batteries away.
Two of these work real good.

I run two of those in parallel. Sick speeds and really good run times.
They are a tight fit in the battery compartment, so tie a ribbon (like the one's for X-mas wrapping) around the battery and leave yourself
some tabs to grab to help you pull them out.
You also will need to vent the body and add a heatsink to the Brushless motor to keep it from going thermal.

Are these batteries already equipped with the high current traxxas connector?

the Traxxas brand, so they do fit.
Personally, even though I've ordered my batteries from Hobby city, I use Traxxas brand connectors.
BTW
When you order from Hobbycity, do yourself a favor and pay the little extra for the EMS shipping.
I ordered my Batteries on a Sunday night and they arrived on Thursday.
