Oh #%@!! What did I do to my SMC Lipos?

[Finnster]

I'm w/ Pimp and Wheels. I always prefer to run higher voltage and not overpower the system. Its easier on the components and you get lower temps w/ more voltage and higher eff. Hell I run 4S in my CRT.5 :)

I've had my v2 MMM running for over a year no probs on 5S. My fan never comes on and the 2.5D motor gets at most 160 after 30min or so of constant track driving. Bashing stays even cooler. 6S would be fine assuming to keep reasonable power levels. 60 in a Savage is a bit much IMO, esp if doing hard driving.


I didn't see the part where the lipos were damaged earlier. I've done that accidentally, and its usually the beginning of the end. This grass thrashing may have just been too much for wounded batts. Ideally I would run the Sav with 5S/1Y or even 6S and a 2.5D or 3D. Else gear down a bit w/ the 4S/1Y or change driving until you have all the bugs worked out.
