Updated WTB list
Hi there,
Got an BL system now, but still need a 2.4 spektrum receiver and steering servo for my tamiya build (tb03d). If you have one or both to sell, drop me a note and it's a quick sale.
Thx

When your batteries are half an inch thicker than they should be because they've swelled so bad, you do need new batteries. And this is not a joke. Continuing to charge batteries such as this is a very high risk thing. They won't explode but when they ignite (with these batteries there is no if, only a when), they will take out your electronics and possibly whoever is pitting beside you, including pit tables and maybe what is on them. Now if it happens on the track that they decide to let go, the racing will be put on hold indefinatley because the club, at this point, can not afford to replace the carpet that you burnt up.
What's better, a couple hundred bucks on some new cell's or everyone hating you because you took something away, and having to spend a whole lot more money replacing all of your electronics and the electronics, i.e. chargers and power supplies, of the people sitting beside you?
Just a thought Ivan, but one you should REALLY think about.

As for the ½ inch swelling, now you’re exaggerating Scott. The case edges expanding a mm or two maybe. However, as someone I respect and frequently ask for information, your comments on Sunday during the lights set-up, I’ve already decided to not use the slightly swollen lipo in question. Over the summer, I did have a lipo swell up significantly after a severe T-bone that I asked for info how to get rid of it and Jeff Cohen posted how to. I discharged it using 1 amp which took many short sessions of hours to 1.0 volt per cell and I shorted them until no voltage resulted. I’ll do the same with the current lipo in question.
I may not appear to take good care of my equipment in general because I just don’t have time to take stuff apart and clean them religiously, but I do actually try to keep my electronic stuff in good shape…….ample power supply (35Amp) to charge at 1C (always), with lipo bag (always) and with a balancer. Does everyone do this?
Thanks again for the warning and I do take safety seriously after seeing Stu almost seriously get hurt with those nimh cells last year. I do suggest maybe one night some of the execs of the club go around and check on everyone’s equipment and see if there are in any safety violation. Just a suggestion.
Have a great day!
Ivan
Ps. Jim you got any batteries for sale?

And Ivan, yes I was exagerating. And I really didn't mean for it to come across as a "slam Ivan" post. But it can be a serious thing if a LiPo battery does get the point of extreme swelling.
I know you do the best to look after the equipment you have with the time that you have. We just like telling you to rebuild those 8 position clickers you call differentials because it's fun.
