I sent Linc a "lipo" package that actually contained a corn and peanut strewn turd. The amazing thing was the density, it felt as heavy as a lipo would be. What the hell had I been eating? (besides peanuts and corn)

I think that was the end of lipo repairs.

thanks

no problem.

also found good prices here www.all-battery.com and seems a better selection of stuff

I use cheapbatterypacks.com, they have always treated me very well, fast shipping and no surprises, like out of stock stuff that is listed in stock. I will not buy from maxamps, mainly cause they are more expensive, and I do not like paying for advertising (not for crappy waterproof lipos anyway).

The lack of a/c in the hobby room and the general business of summer caused the lipo repair to be put on hold... Like I said I may start it up again, so if you really want something done hold onto it. In a few months it will be cool again...

Hey Linc, how goes it?
Just wondering how the batteries are going? I know you got the A123's done just wondering about the 5s Zippy's you were knocking down to 4s for me. Also don't forget to add in the 20Xl motor.
thanks man

Whoops, guess i forgot to reply to your last PM... Sorry about that, you hoser:mdr:

I have wired the a123 packs, just need to shrink them. Will pull the zippies apart tomorrow afternoon and get them ready, much easier and quicker to do lipo stuff... Should have all of those done then, will post pics of the finished results and get them in the mail by the weekend for you. And I have the 20xl set aside too.

Do you want deans females on the a123 packs? Did not specify in your instructions...

Linc, or anyone....

Has anyone taken apart the TrueRC Hardcase LiPo Pack yet?

I think one of my cells MAY have puffed... As it was a bit lumpy, on the top, barely, like, 1mm over in the center, and I'm OCD, so I'm scared as shit.

I think it was Mr. Spongebob Avatar, something pede? :whistle:
Who had one, and got his balancer plug stuck in, so I'm assuming he opened it?

Sorry, can't remember your name! :oh:

Anyways, someone... help?

No idea, never had my hands on one of those packs.

Awww, damn.

How are most of the hardcased you handled configured?

I tried taking one apart..... Smelled like lead, so I put it back together.. :lol:

Not sure I understand. Some are 1p, some are 2p. Usually the case is lightly glued around the edges.

NEW TrueRC 5000mAh 20C 7.4V 2S2P pack

Off TrueRC's site...

Wait, doesn't that mean it's 4 cells?
wtf, I'm retarded.

Yep, uses 4 2500 cells. Ahh, a 2p pack having issues...

Hmm, never thought of that...

I'll email him, I opened it like a couple cm's, and it wouldn't budge anymore, so I didn't do it.
TrueRC won't tell me how to open it... Maybe if I tell them it might be puffed and my life might be endangered.. :lol:

Anyways, are they just loose packs, with bullet connectors on the tips, or is it glued in? :oops:

Ehee Linc, still working on my lipos :D:D. U can keep 'em.. Not worth much money I suppose?
