I'm glad this helped thanks

@rcdemonblood574 Год назад

You made this look simple I'm very impressed I'm definitely doing this I just bought a trx4M yesterday and was concerned about storage charging

@OverBudgetRC Год назад

Thank you it's very easy to do as long as you know how to solder it's not hard at all. It was definitely worth it. I was wanting it so I can put it back to storage charge too.

@88davidw Год назад

Thank you for making this video. Very handy.

@OverBudgetRC Год назад

No problem I'm hoping it helps some people out. Until someone make a legit adapter. Thanks.

@makestuffbetter19 Год назад

That’s a great idea! No matter how “safe” traxxas makes their system we will find a way around them!

@OverBudgetRC Год назад

Lmao 🤣

@scottfirman Год назад

Its best to use the male connector end on the ST-60 connector when soldering wires onto them. It keeps the terminals from melting into the plastic and keeps them aligned and works as a heat sink. The risk of the terminal becoming misaligned is greater without the other connector. Simple.

@OverBudgetRC Год назад

Thats a good idea I've had to toss out connectors I've messed up before thanks 👍

@TomeOfKnowledge74 Год назад

Your solution here is a low cost, non destructive way to solve a problem many of us want to solve. Great work!

Thank you I'm glad it helped

You would think one could be able to sue Traxxas for not giving you an option to storage charge their 2S TRX-4M Lipos with their proprietary charger or use an ISO standard connector so you could use existing hobbyist hardware. What is unsafe is your house burning down because the internal resistance is purposely and negligently ignored by Traxxas and the basic user has no idea how volatile unsafe storage of LIPO batteries can be and then blame it on user error during the charging phase. its dirty and gross. I'm just happy I have the capacity to chop them connectors off and use my own.

This is a great mod. $6 bucks for the extension. Ebay is $15. Thanks.

Great work and great how to! Followed your instructions and my adapter is working fine. Thx man

@OverBudgetRC 3 месяца назад

Awesome thank you. I'm glad it worked for you.

@tomaskonkol8894 Год назад

I made separate adapter as i dont like to cut original charger but for somebody who dont have way to make adapter there its other solution for storage charge. If you have original pro light kit and lights goes off due to lower voltage cut off then cells are exactly 3.8V tried few times. That's work only with pro light kit any other LED will be still on like bumper lights or other accessory lights.

@OverBudgetRC Год назад

That's good to know about the light kit. I couldn't find connectors for these batteries at the time not sure if and sells them now, but this was the best solution I could come up with. For me I didn't care about cutting the charger.

Thank you 👍🏻

@alboneMS3 Год назад

Nice video! Tip: You can stretch heat shrink a little with needle nose pliers so that it will fit over the plugs.

@OverBudgetRC Год назад

Thank you I've done that before but I don't think this piece would stretch enough for that connector but thank you for the tip.

I made an adapterplug for the esc via the battery connector. You can connect the balance port (male) on the esc via 1 cable. Cut both power cables off. Then add the new connector (i used JST male because i had a couple of JST batteries lying around). And add the new connector (jst female) and the balance port plug (jst xh female) to the battery. This time add all the wires of the balance port plug. That way your battery can be charged normally. And with the cable for the esc you can use any battery. It's the same, but different, but still the same!

@OverBudgetRC 7 месяцев назад

Nice ya that works too.

@Bennie98 7 месяцев назад

@@OverBudgetRCi couldn't have figured it out without your video, so, thanks!
