RE: Battery Heat
The plug needs to be changed, your batteries need to be swiched out for better ones (less resistance) after all resistance causes heat. Its only a matter of time before you plugs start melting. Heres what you need to do:
*If your rebuilding the pack*
-Get a good soldering iorn
-Some sodder
-Deans pro3 battery bars
-'Wet noodle' wire
-Better connectors such as powerpoles (sermos) or deans.
Solder it all togetter!
*Getting a new pack*
Here are some good places to get a pack:
boomboombatteries.com
ballisticbatteries.com
promatchracing.com
maxamps.com
Get some good SxS 3300's with deans or powerpoles, and you wont see much if any heat from those puppys.
*Building a new pack*
Same as rebuilding, but get some better cells (gp3300's)
