boys and girls,
I was thinking of buying a saddle pack for an old school 4wd car I'm building, but I was looking around at the batteries I already have and I found I have 2 almost new (same brand, same type) of 1S packs from my now sold 12th scale car.
Is there anything to stop me using those setup like saddles ?
perhaps physically they might just be the wrong shape, but other than that, any reasons?

thanks

The only problem with using standard 1S packs is that they are usually sized around the old 4 cell packs so you might have a problem due to their physical size. Saddle packs are just two 1S packs, just at a smaller size.

The German Masters pro10 racers usually use two 1S packs as saddles, so they have 6000mah+ 2S batteries.

cheers Terry.

how fun would 235mm pan cars with 2s lipos be !!

With proper traction 235 pan cars are unreal !!!

Nothing wrong with using those 1s packs together. Same effect as saddle pack.
