Default RE: Starter battery setup

Are the connectors coming out of the case from the pack the ones that came with the packs?

Yes.

The Tamiya ( white ) connectors coming out of the bottom are right from the batteries as they come.

And are you just tucking it all underneath the starter after connecting?

Thanks.!
Yup in the second photo you see what I do with the wires. I just tuck them into the back when I am not charging the batteries.

The lug connectors hang out ( as I said, they are really not needed ), but this has never been a problem.

The two packs fit within the case at an angle.

It may seem that you are forcing them to go in, but when you screw the back down, everything closes up fine.

However you do have to remove the inner flashing ( I used a dremel tool to do this ) and plastic "ears" that are left to add strength.
