Lipo warm-up?

[Gee]

40* is about the temp to break out the cutoff up here. Gotten use to the cold weather but still don't care for it. The bummer up here is the lack of daylight. Go to work in the dark and get home in the dark. This is the time of year I start trying to figure out lights for all the RCs.

I guess if your going to the track and need the best performance it would make sense to get a toaster they use for beagles and keep them warm. Just bashing they do fine. I went to REI (outdoor sports store) here in town last fall and spent close to 50.00 on some nice gloves. Wanted the thinnest they had but the warmest. They do real well except for the finger tips can get cold.

The other problem I ran into last year was loosing the LCD on my DX3R transmitter when it got real cold. Still worked fine but nothing on the screen would show up until it got warm. If you are worried about the lipos getting too cold maybe throw them in a wool sock before you strap them in. One nice thing about winter is you can gear it up a bit higher and do some experimenting without worry to much about thermalling your ESC or batteries.
