Lipo repair

[rawfuls]

Haha, shut it

[snauty]

Jeez i didnt think it was that dirty.

Hey can i send you both batteries to make sure theres nothing wrong with the other.
And can i have the shipping details.

[snauty]

And sense it would probably 2s 4000, can you take the extra cell and make a another 2s 4000 mah pack with the other battery, and I will have another 3 cells left over, hrrm let me think about that.

Sure, I can make any combo you like out of the 7 cells you have. Pm sent to you with shipping info...

Hey what about reparing the lipo itself. Can you buy another cell to put in there.

I've got a question for yall. I was on rcu and this guy is wondering if he should get rid of his damaged lipo.

I would say it's good to go but i'm not sure, the skin might be bad. One of you guys should post or I can post. Linc, tell me if you want me to recommend him to you.

Definitely looks to have at least one, maybe two bad cells.

[rawfuls]

Yeah..
I'd get rid of the 1/2 bad cells.
Looks like he smashed it into dirt.
Blow off the dust, and see what's left.

Just to add the the rcu stuff, I found some interesting pics.

I'm trying to find out if it was a maxmaps pack.....

[rawfuls]

Wow, that really sucks..

[Metallover]

New updates on the story... I guess it was just the Schumaker esc. Here's the guys thread - http://casterracingusa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1499

"But I pretty much lost nearly all of the electrics except the 2 chargers (Which BTW Mike, the hobby store owner wants to buy some for his shop). Motor tempted at 230f, ESC looks like a good BBQ meal, Lipos have some sides slightly melted. The car has some melted parts but overall intack. Some at the track say the lipos may still be good but I don't feel comfortable with a battery that has taken damage already and could be a sitting bomb."



Well now all this is in the wrong place.

Hobbycity helped me out with the wire shrink but I can't find any large shrink on there.

Try digikey.com they are an electronics warehouse\holesale place they have EVERYTHING regarding electronics to my knowledge, yea thy have some rather large heatshrink a variety of colors and spec's.

[Metallover]

I ended up getting heatshrink at cheapbatterypacks.com. My next hobbycity order will have a ton of wire heat shrink too.

ok, Hey Linc think its pretty cool your doing all this, do you know what company makes the hyprion style balance taps, and or where you get them from? I wanna switch some zippys from xh to hyperion to avoid buying an adapter.
