Lipo Questions

[aqwut]

I discharge mine to about half capacity and store them in a metal tool box in the basement...

It can get cold here (18 right now)

you want to know how cold it is this morning here in Quebec ?????
-20celcius yes minus 20 celcius!!! -20 -20 -20 fu..quebec!!!
I would like to live were the winter is always above the zero celcius

Well, its 75F (24C) here right now headed to 80F (27C) today. Lets compare temps again when its July...!! Last real winter we had was in '90 when we had about a week of 12-16F (-11 to -9C) weather. I'd like to live somewhere it gets cold enough to kill all the bugs off every year.

You could be in Ft McMurray where my last contract was - its -25C!

Man, thats cold!

The main reason why i did'nt like winter is because we don't have any interior place to run ours R/C.

Yeah same here. I hate winter too because there is no indoor place to drive in minnesota in the winter. It's freezing today and there is a foot of snow in my driveway right now. Does anyone here use a lipo sack?

what kind of indoor track you looking for

there is a dirt offroad track for 1/10, carpet racing , and a whole indoor nitro series in mn. in the winter

check out... mn nitro series

no i use a ammo box as well, check out mills fleet farm , last time i was at one they had a few for like $5 in the sporting goods area

you can charge and store in it

I use a porcelain plate to charge on and just leave them on my work bench until I need to use one.

Be careful about discharging them to half capacity for storage - I've just recovered from losing 5 lipos that were stored and found badly puffed when I came back (was gone for 90days). It was the cell on the top that puffed on all them, not sure what thats about.

I'll be storing mine with near full charge from now on.

Thanks i know all about the nitro series. I did know about the track in Foley but only that they had an outdoor one. When did the indoor one come up? From the pic it seems kind of small for a 1/8 scale buggy. I don't have any 1/10 scale vehicles right now, but i may have to get some now. I'll have to go check out the man mall for an ammo box that's a good idea.
