Stick packs for a Tamiya

jimmy · #1 18-09-2006

Hi, I am after about 4 stick packs, you know the sort of thing, cells end-to-end shotgun style. They are for mine and vickys Tamiya m03 minis as these cars cant accept our normal race packs.

I dont wanna spend much at all, new Tamiya 1400 packs used to be a tenner but they have gone up loads so I guess it will have to be 2nd hand as long as they are in fair nick.

Anyone got anything preferably who races or is local as 4 packs of cells probably cost a bomb to post! :jimmeh not in a rush either.

Proper official-like tamiya ones ? Its more than I wanted to spend (a bit) but I will have a think bout that, Its not a bad deal. Have to see if we are gonna like the minis to spend that much I think.

why not get a 'hammer head' style soldering iron and make your own out of your older batts?

Whats that Chris? Never heard of it....

BenG · #11 19-09-2006

I am guessing at a HUGE soldaring iron?

Southwell · #12 19-09-2006

Found this:

DCM · #13 19-09-2006

no, it is a special soldering iron tip, looks like a hammer, with two flat faces. You make a little jig to align the cells so they drop on each other, tin both ends first, stick them in the jib, put the iron inbetween for a second or two to melt the solder, remove the iron, push cells together, the solder should of still been in a liquid state when they join, I seen a video on it somewhere.

jimmy · #14 19-09-2006

no way! thats crazy! haha, never get those cells apart again would you!
still, I have a few packs of old cells that would be good for the minis.. but I think I will get some proper ones.
