Stormbringer Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 you can use it straight away or you can charge it the evening before a bash but dont keep them fully charged for days tho I would invest in a lipo sack or an ammo box or a batsafe box to store your lipos in 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
