Too many XMODS

I bought the cells and the charger from AtomicMods. He has a couple of different chargers...I bought the $20 one, and it works just fine. It will charge the cells in about 30 minutes.

The cells alone are $8.95 ea. No too bad. And you only need two. They are AA in size. They are also more powerful than a 5 or 6 cell setup. Plus, the weight savings is there as well. Have you tried to fit six cells under your car body? It is not easy...

Anyway, the wiring harnesses I made myself. I found some Deans connectors online for $1.40 per pair. I can solder pretty well, so those were not too bad. If you don't like to solder, AM sells the wiring harnesses as well. There is a tutorial on AtomicMods.com on how to install the Li-Ions. It is very detailed. I have four Li-Ion cars now out of the twelve that I have.
(Jeez, I have too many)

But anyway, you will freak out when you run the Li-Ions. The speed is pretty amazing, especially if you combine it with a different motor. I have two cars with an AtomicMods SS130 motor, and it rocks. The first time I fired them up, the tires blew off the rims!...No kidding! If you need any more help, just ask.

Always glad to share the knowledge...
