eddywatson Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 So before I blow myself up. Can anybody point me in the right direction for a first charge. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Plug the blue plug into the charger cable Plug the white balance lead into the balance port/board Set charger to 3S and balance charge at 5.0A 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddywatson Posted June 2, 2021 Author Share Posted June 2, 2021 Thanks for the help guys! It’s still charging now. But if the battery runs flat or it’s still got some juice in and I’m finished what should I do? Leave the battery in car disconnected? Or always do a storage charge after each time?

Bajadre Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 yes never leave the connectors together eddy most esc will have a LVC low volt cutoff so you dont damage the lipo too low etc i usually leave mine for a week before recharging for next weekend no problems. you can get a lipo checker to take out and double check your lipos too only a couple of quid worth having in the tool/parts bag 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derka Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 On 02/06/2021 at 19:24, eddywatson said: Also what does this connect to? cheers That's for you to plug in additional fans for the motor. To use a program card, you must connect it directly into that 3-pin socket on the ESC. The card won't work if you plug it into the splitter you have circled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
