Default RE: 2s and 3s a123 cells in my traxxas rustler and stampede

They are a123 batteries from a dewalt 28v pack, I fixed the typo. I didn't modify the battery tray in the rustler though you notice the 3s pack doesn't fit side by side. The length is fine for two cells to fit end to end since the length is nearly the same as a 6 cell nicd/nimh pack. The mah is about 2300 and you can run them down fully to use the entire battery unlike lipos which should have 20% capacity left in them to be safe... so some say.
