I'm the pit dad who has to keep all three vehicles in every race.
Between monitoring battery charging, fixing broken trucks and buggies
and using house transponders (not having personal transponders), if I
had to solder and un solder every battery pack I might miss a race, and
I'd up my workload. that's why I use Dean's connectors, the Ultra Plug.

Purchasing three AMB personal transponders is on my current wishlist.

thanks Chuck. We have a really fun time. We try to get out once a week
to the track. I finally have us all on a B4 and two T4's. So when we
break parts at least many of the parts are interchangeable between all
the vehicles. Back when we had a T2 T3's and the B4 keeping up with
stocking parts was a real pain.
