I wouldn't consider myself a hardcore RC enthusiast, but it's definitely an interest of mine. I have a Traxxas Slash 4x4, and it's a blast to throw around in parking lots or the grass. That being said, I find that I don't drive it very much because I never know when an opportunity to drive it will come up.
As much as I'd like to use it more, as it stands right now, my Slash just sits on my floor, and only gets touched about once a month to re-balance the battery. My question is: how bad of an idea is it to store my Slash in the trunk of my car so I have more opportunities to use it? As I understand it, LiPo batteries are extremely volatile, so I would reason that storing them in a hot car would be wildly dangerous. If this is as terrible of an idea as I think, is there another solution to storing the battery that would allow me to keep it in my car safely?
Thanks for the advice!
