Last night I was bashin the savage in the snow and all of a sudden noticed a SHARP drop in power, stopped immediatly and ran over to it to hear a "pssss" noise..I am now thinking "holy shit, it is going to light on fire" lol. I ran it to the garage cause it was about -20 and saw that the lipo had puffed... I should have known better! My assumption is that water caused the leads to short thus puffing it. Any other educated-guesses?
So while I am at it, I might as well ask a few other questions.
I am thinking I am going to try turnigy or zippy batteries, what balance taps do they use? I'm hoping I don't have to buy another adapter for the charger(I have hyperion and TP taps right now).
Also, what can a guy do to kind of waterproof a lipo? I was thinking plasti-dip but don't they need to breath a bit?
Thanks for any help guys, I am going to go mourn the loss of my lipo now lol.
