its the same as a dual but you daisy chain a third one. for bits i find it a waste. you just peel out.

I agree with hog on this one. Unless you're using an older zip or a heavy diecast body 3 cells are really just a waste for anything other than straight drags.

THANK YOU

trust me im all about more speed and power but i havnt had good luck with 3 cells. it throws the weight off and your tires just peel out. you will also need more juice to charge it up. ive got my dual cells running well enough. but to ad another cell in the circuit you just run from the positive of the second cell(the one that sits above the heatsink) to the negative of the third one and then run a wire from the positive of the third one to the negative of the original battery(the one that sits inside the chassis. where you are gona fit all 3 is up to you. it can be done but its gona be tight.

you would be better off getting a lithiumpolymer cell 3.7v that weighs as much as one nimh cell.
