That's what I need ! The filtered lid is a great idea "After getting the fire out and the smoldering battery out of the house, I had an intense cleanup effort, the battery produced a very heavy black soot that was throughout my entire house, it settled on everything." I've seen the magic s...

Is there other advantages of lipos over nimh besides longer run times ?

Is there a temperature range for keeping lipos stored ? What if they were kept at storage voltage, in a lipo bag, in a cooler outside on the patio ? Think it would it get to cold or hot ? If they went off the fire would be kept inside the bag and the lid would pop open from the pressure to vent smoke.

I wouldn't change a thing, only screw back all the parts that the car originally had. Clean plastic parts, but keep tires dusty, they have the original dust in them. I have a bit similar Losi XX http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=23418 , my old race car and I didn't change nothing sin...

I read somewhere you soak them overnight in salt water or until they read 0.0 v and toss them in the trash.

If some one is sitting at their dining table watching the batteries charge and all of a sudden one decides to flame, what do you do in that instant ?

I had a Nexus tablet a few years ago that quit and still had my info in it, so we popped it with a hammer like you would a hard drive or something to trash it not even thinking about the battery inside. That thing went off like you would not believe. Knocked it off the bench into a 5 gallon bucket a...

Simple curiosity and a question, where do you charge your lipos, kitchen, garage, patio, alley ? Do you use fire proof bags or ____?

The harness I posted says "a blank pair of wires that you can connect your own plug to if necessary." So I guess I can solder this connector on. I ordered the charger and harness while they were offering the charger to me at 27.91 . Will this charger cover me for lipo now ?

I saw that and it looks more square than this battery uses ? It's more flat looking like this one. http://www.losipartshouse.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=LOSB0860&gdffi=3b33745d028f422bae866753ec47c612&gdfms=0153A6FEA3264158AD38A1CF7CD2FEC9&gclid=CMCxyOX6uNACFVc8gQodXmYL8Q There is...

Thanks !

I had bought the proper wall wart losi charger off ebay, but hey sent the wrong thing and had it listed wrong. It's a 2s 250mah, so I'm waiting for a refund.

This adapter work ?

I traded some stuff and ended up with a couple of those Losi Micro trucks. One is brushless and uses this LOSB0863 battery, 2s 7.4v 180mah and I haven't got a charger for lipo at all. Will this do and maybe be useful when I get other lipo batteries ???????? I still have my old power supply. https://...

and the stealth version.

Can't blame traxxas for closing hobby shops when you have a country with no trade skills. They just adapted to the customer. Can't build a kit if you don't know what a wrench is or what it's used for.

All those are really nice ! This one makes me think of the old HO scale slot cars.
