Freakin sick, what a cool idea

I don't have all the highspeed stuff. I have one 4600mah, 2S, 100C, shorty hardcase that is servo taped into the car. I charge it attended at 5amps max while it is in the car on race day and at the track. If it went up in flames while charging, so would my awesome vintage buggy. For storage, I take...

Sounds like you need the car tote model they haven't made yet. Prevention, sh_t happens. lol I see what you did there :mrgreen: I plugged it in and when it read zero for about 45 seconds and slowly one cell built up to .821 I just unplugged it. Would one of those boxes be helpful right now, I belie...

So with all that stuff I've been talking about I get home yesterday from a 4 month business trip and grab my race stuff from storage... Bring it home all excited to wire up a new B6, you know cause the perfectly good one sitting in front of me isn't black and green. Pull my stocker out of my Pelican...

Nope, seems like overkill

I often wonder why power tool lipo batteries (Bosch, Dewalt, etc...) don't seem to have the complexities of the RC battery packs. You plug them into the provided fast charger, and use them.

It doesn't take all night but for safety sake I'd leave them overnight.

I charge on my desk in my room, usually about 10A. No bags, no safety crap just common sense I.E. not leaving them alone I was lucky enough to help Schumacher develop the Core RC LiPo's back in the day and I was taught everything from someone who helped pioneer them in the airplane world when they r...

I've been running ProTek's on most of my racers lately. Been running the 160T in my B5 and into my first B6. Picked up a 170SBL for my Black and Green B6 but I haven't run it yet.

I really enjoy the Savox 1258TG Black Edition in my worlds rere's, have like 4 of them.

Looks great man, glad it went to a good home

Sexy!
