The RC track is too small/tight for any real driving - the bike is full sized(58" wheelbase). I sometimes(most times) over jump the crossover and can't make the turn onto the strait so I hop the 6x6 border and continue on. The crossover is fun and fairly easy to access on the bike. :)
I have been charging the bike with my lead battery charger(10 /5 amp selectable, 12-72 volt charger I used to charge the lead batterries). I monitor the voltage and switch to 5 amps when it gets over 80 volts and shut it off when it gets around 82 volts. I will balance charge the modules every 5-10 cycles, depending on how far out they are after a few cycles. I don't worry too much about the packs coming out of balance, as each pack only sees 40 amps peak with the current setup(25c 5000mah pack) - not even giving them a workout. Periodic balance charging is easy with the modules, too.
