Referring to picture, two wires to the motor... what is the 3rd one with the plug? Connecting to the Re-charger?

Also, does anyone knows RC United does ship to Hong Kong or not? How much is the shipped for one pack of 1660mah 11.1v 3 cell Lipo?

The $72.- is quoted in USD or British Pound?

I got an answer from the guys.
It is used to charge the cells individual but If your charger doesn't support it then don't care about it..
I am quite sure that they ship to HongKong..
I would guess that EMS would be 15-20$.
They are very nice to email and they respond very fast, under 5 minutes sometimes ..

EDIT: It is USD

it's for balancing the cells by charging them individually... and checking them periodically to see if they are still matched to each other

Thanks to both of you.

For balancing? How about re-charging the batt? Use this plug or the wires connecting to motor?
