Evidently I touched a nerve

I use turnigy lipos exclusively. Yes i have a couple packs with bad cells but its my own fault for not putting a storage charge on them over the winter. I dont bother calling HK CS because its my fault, not theirs.

Both Venom and Maxamps are pushed really hard where i live because they are both located in my area. Honestly I dont know of anyone in my area that has had much luck with either of those companies. But if Venom lipos are working for you then by all means continue to use them!

I simply followed the enclosed instructions that smc includes with each battery as I do with each mfr because they all have different ways they want you to care for the batteries that they feel works best for their batteries. I have a storage feature button which comes in handy so a person doesn't have to sit there and watch the exact voltage.

No nerves frayed here otherwise I wouldnt have posted in another thread you were in. I was just simply stating the facts and what I was observing in the response to me. Yeah venom has worked for a few years for me. I've seen a lot of people get into trouble with them by using to low a C rated battery with a mmm combo in the brushless emaxx and surprisingly castle and venom replace the mmm escs and batteries.


Two really good companies that have excellent customer service. I just credit due where I see companies doing good things for customers. WERe allwe have out here and let's face it we have a lot of shysters out here giving this industry a bad label taking advantage of newbs and then us experienced guys have to step up and right a wrong. The unsung heroes that keep this hobby alive is what a lot of us do out here.
