Re: Lipo charging through balance port
I'd be taking the battery out to charge, make up a charge lead for your little white plug. Surely google will tell you what kind of plug it is so you can buy the other end to make up something!

Re: Lipo charging through balance port
Well battery has been out even before I made this thread. I like how dashpuppy made a diagram for making a charging adaptor for it. I will post it's picture soon. I'll see if HK or HH already have adaptor for this purpose.

Re: Lipo charging through balance port
Here is the picture of this tiny white connector..

It doesn't look like micro Losi connector, coz HK has alot of adaptors with micro Losi connectors..

splice on a connector like a deans or something that will work with your balance board.
