I'm using a 2S LIPO on my REVO,to power the radio and the Losi R.O.S.S. remote start system (which works great,BTW!).
Couldn't resist putting a Sumitt rear bumper with red LEDs in it and I'm wondering if I could power those LEDs by tapping into the balance plug on my rx/start LIPO?
Here's some pics,spent a lotta time and money on this yin.
The Vantage carbon chassis is a total work of art!
yes absolutely. balance plug is just wires running to each cell junction. pick two that give you the voltage you need and wire it up accordingly. just be aware if you leave them on for long periods (with LED's, like days or weeks, hah) you will unbalance the pack if you are not using all the cells.
I decided its finally time to go lipo, my nimh packs are fading and instead of buying more i am just gonna make the jump. I have a novak havoc 3s esc and run a 17.5 and a 13.5 ballistic motor that i run in a rc10 team car. i will also be using the...

I'm a big Gens Ace fan, and have no issues at all with them. I have used and own a couple of Venom packs and one Thunder Power pack which perform exactly the same as the Gens Ace. But the difference is the Gens Ace are far less expensive....
I have run my revived TC3 a few times now and just got a second, used RTR TC3 for my son that has been run a few times as well. Both cars have brushless motors and ESC's but are from the pre-LiPo era, so do not have low voltage cut off. My sole car...

Thanks for all of the testaments to successful LiPo use. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before I get a few.
A small update on my son's Team Orion brushless motor thread repair. We ran the cars the other day and it was the first time that both...
Ok I have a 2c Zippy 4000mah lipo with a Reedy brushed motor and an LRP V1 runner. I'm using a MRC 965 charger for balance charging. Also have a low voltage alarm. The combo worked flawless for last two weeks until today. I charged the battery for...

Ok guys figured out the problem. I had the deans plugs soldered backwards on charger and esc ,so the battery wires we're also plugged in backwards. Once I fixed my MRC charger balance charged for along time it eventually had both cells almost...
I have a AE 5000 20C Lipo and I have a Hyperion EOSO606i charger.
I have a lipo that when I ballance it one cell at 2.91 and the other at 3.71. and it will not move off this #.
What size lipo are you guys running with your Losi XX? I'm in the market for a battery but I'm a little worried about buying one that might be too big.
Lets say you have a 1500mah lipo battery and the same 1500mah in other types of batteries. What will be the difference in run time? . Any difference in the lipo batteries made for airplanes vs the ones made for cars or boats? There is so many...

Yea runtime is what I'm after as there is no racing aruond here. What determines the runtime the pack will give me, the MAH? Does the same apply to non lipo batteries?
nimh batteries lose alot of energy as heat, lipos last longer for the same...
Is it safe to charge a lipo pack that is already run down some, or do I need to discharge it compleatly first? Also what is the best way to store them, and is there any maintence to do to them while in storage? Winter is coming and I'm not sure what...

Just store them fully charged, and remember to charge them every few months.
