    LiPo Charger Power Calculators

    Revolectrix has a whole host of power calculators for not only their LiPo chargers but also a generic one as well. It can be a really handy tool to have so I thought Id share. Theyve also added a new one for the Dual PL8 charger (I totally want one!) http://www.revolectrix.com/Calculators_main.htm

    Lipo Damage

    Ok my son crashed his rustler brushless at high speed, he snapped the chassis in two! He also damaged the lipo, the front of it is crushed. Is it still ok to use this battery in my other vehicles?

    Traxxas Stampede and hard case LiPo batteries

    I have an older model Pede and it won't fit the hard case LiPo batteries that I have now. The reason is because of the rounded ribs in the bottom of the battery pocket. Do the grey chassis have those ribs too?

    Weird Lipo problem

    Hi guys So i was driving my truggy on Saturday and it randomly cut out. I thought that i had burnt out the speed controller or something along these lines as there was no way the batteries were below the ESC safe voltage as if they were, then the speed controller reduces the power, allowing you...

    Lipo Long Term Storage

    It looks like I'll be gone for a while and I'm trying to figure out how long I can store my lipos. My charger doesn't have a "storage" charge so I'll be manually charging them to the 40%. What's the longest I can let them sit for before they'll probably be bad?

    Puffed up Lipo Batt

    I've got a Rhino 2250 3 cell 11.1 25c. Since I have very little knowledge of Lipo batts, I don't know if I want to charge it. It feels like it's been filled with 30PSI of air pressure. It's never been run through a full cycle, only a test for one of the helis. What do you think?

    Bad Lipos

    So I am currently in class for my European certification for Dangerous Goods shipments, so I guess this may be why I noticed this listing. We all know the dangers of Lipos, even people who aren't in the hobby may have heard the stories of Lipo incidents lately. I also all remember when Lipos...
