Lipo warm-up?

I'll take cream cheese on my beagle lol.

Good point about the plastic parts also, they do tend to get brittle, I really only have A-arms to be concerned with tho.

And go easy on the Californians, you can't be truly hardened (by which I mean frozen stiff) until you've dealt with negative 40 a few days in a row, which is usually the high temp here in February ;)

I saw a few years ago a 'TransMitt' for use with a stick TX, think they advertised it on RCGroups. I may make something like that. As I said, the real problem with gloves for me is the throttle/brake feel. Steering is no problem but I have large hands and my digits don't fit well with gloves in the trigger notch.

This thread was about batteries tho wasn't it lol. I don't care if the batts don't have maximum punch, just wondered if it's possible to do damage in extreme cold, I guess if it's too cold for the hands it's probably borderline too cold for the lipos, maybe I'll just use that as the determining factor.

But I did build my Mute to be fairly weather resistant with no additional protection needed, and while it's of course not waterproof, it does work fabulously well. And BrianG, I have removed my fans for the season. Time to get it sloppy!

My senior year in high school, we played the state championship football game and it was 30 below, with a 20 mph "breeze"....I didn't really feel the cold until I snapped my ankle and had to sit the rest of the game. At least I didnt have to put ice on it.....

FWIW on the batteries. What happens in cold is that molecules dont move as fast, and you just see fewer amps out of it. Hence why in cold weather people buy batteries for thier cars with a higher cold cranking amperage. So I highly doubt you'll damage a battery. You may end up having false low voltage shut down, though.
