martin34 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 So if the charger only charges at 2c but the batteries can only be charged at 1c? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revorocks Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 So if the charger only charges at 2c but the batteries can only be charged at 1c? No. The batteries CAN be charged at 2C, but it reduces their life span. Best to charge LiPo's at 1C, so they will charge in 1 hour. 5Ah battery charging @ 5A will take 1 hr and so on...

LukeDavis Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Before you order a charger, i have bought THIS charger, to go with THIS battery, to buy both costs less then the charger you were looking at, and in UK to, so have the same chance of delivery now as ModelSport Mine were sent yesterday, so hopefully the postal service isn't THAT crumpled at the moment!

Revorocks Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 OH MY FRIEND!!! i like the way you are talking!!! i realllllly cant wait to test my lipo babies out tom now loool, hehe thank you goldblade and yes luke!! ill be hoping for a decent uk mail service for the both of us tom lool Oh yes, you will love the Revo on 6S. The jump from 4S to 6S is a pretty big one, but the difference between 14 cell NiMH packs and 6S LiPo's is monumental. Easiliy enough power the blow the tires so be careful Have fun!

Tingting44 Posted December 22, 2010 Author Share Posted December 22, 2010 hey revorocks mate, you say watch the tyres as they blow lol i was wondering about that as with my nimh batteries at the moment the blooning of the tryes is quite dramatic!! (still got the stock tyres and wheels on) so like u say they r going to POP!!! that would not be monumental lol guess there is not much i can do appart from when i get my new tyres and wheels is to gaffer tape the inside to stop the blooning right? only something i watched on utube.

Stock tires should last a while, it just depends how you drive. Don't go cornering with the throttle on too much, because the diffs will unload to one side, making one of your tires balloon like crazy. If they do go, get some new rims and tires, and definately tape them with some good quality gaffa tape I used cheap gaffa tape for mine and they have already come unstuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tingting44 Posted December 22, 2010 Author Share Posted December 22, 2010 (edited) thanks buddy :-) well i am up nice and early just awaiting my batteries to charge now lol edit: oh one more thing, i currently have my MMM esc set to 100% punch but to be honest i cant see any difference at all from 0%-100% with my nimh batteries but i am thinking it might be a good idea when my lipos come to maybe lower the punch from 100%>?

zebrevo Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 (edited) good idea - Do all that you can to try to tame it to start with.... Punch setting Exponential on throttle channel (if you have it) End Point Adjustment on throttle channel (if you have it) TBH - your mate may well beat you in your first race - as its likely you'll flip straight onto your roof!! But once you get used to the power and the delivery of that power................. Also, if you're running in snow - try to avoid gettting the MMM wet! http://www.msuk-foru...__1#entry919952 Edited December 22, 2010 by zebrevo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tingting44 Posted December 22, 2010 Author Share Posted December 22, 2010 (edited) hey zebrevo, thanks for your knowledge mate! that does sound true about learning how to control the power, i am hoping they come soon so i can charge them and take it out for a few tests before me and my mates race tonight to give me a chance to tame her out in the wild hahaha yeah mate i use the castle link to do everything through the MMM, and i dont touch the controls on the transmitter, so would u have any settings for the castle link as to help me out with my drag race tonight edit: i am on castle link now, i am thinking just to disable punch control for the race tonight?

Tingting44 Posted December 22, 2010 Author Share Posted December 22, 2010 RIGHT ON!!! batteries turnt up 35 mins ago and 1 of them has just taken 33 mins to fully charge at 4.0a!!!!! great stufF!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revorocks Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Don't put punch control on 100%. Just turn it off and have a gentle finger, you will quickly see how to drive it You can't go full throttle when starting off, just enough to stop it from doing a wheelie is the quickest start.

Tingting44 Posted December 22, 2010 Author Share Posted December 22, 2010 OHHHHHHHHHHH MY F ING GOD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! o have just got back from my first run with 6s and oh my good god! i did not think it was possible this baby could go so dam fast!!!! it was just unreal, there is normally a dog down the park that allways chases my car when im down there, normally he gives it a good run and NEARLY! catches it lol but today oh my the dog just did not stand a chance in fact it was me chasing the dog today!!! but seriously it was unreal, i got more power than i ever imaged and when going about fast all i need to do to pull a wheelie is add the slightest of pressure on my trigger and ROAR!!! the dog could not run away fast enough when i done a ROAR'ing wheelie straight at it lololololol im still buzzing now lol ah man i cant wait to see the look on my mates face tonight at the race lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
