Ouch! battery got so hot it melted the shrink wrap!!!
#13
Its a Tamiya 1/10th scale F1 car. The F201 chassis. Car is only about 3lbs with a battery in it.

Sadly because of the design of the car the battery packs MUST be of a 6cell stick design. No other type of pack will fit in the space provided. The connections are barly warm to the touch, I'm using Deans ultra connetors and the soldering points are cool to the touch as well. I'm not picking up any unusual resistance from the connections.

When I had a 5.5R in my XXX-T I had originally used the tamiya plugs there were on the original connectors. On the first hard run, the plastic fused together and I had to cut the wires from each end. I put deans ultra plugs on it then and never had a problem there after.
