Make sure to get a low voltage indicator of some sort, over dishcharging a lipo = bad news. My brother and I share a box, figured no big deal charge before each race no need for an indicator, well at the last race we both had engine issues so the starter box had a lot more use then normal, start of the main, the box wouldnt turn over the engine or great dead battery.... open the box, and the battery was darn near 1.5 times its normal size.

Got it out and in a lipo bag, away from everything, never caught fire but learned a good leason. New indicator going in this week
