Default How do I break in a lipo properly with my SC10 brushless?
I bought a couple Venom 2s 40c 5000mah and I read that I shouldn't discharge at more than 35amps for the first 10-15 charges. How many amps does the stock brushless SC10 use and can I use the new pack like a old one with a stock setup? How important is the break-in and should I use it alot before I race in a club race with it? Thanks for any lipo newbie help!

Default Yeah thats what I wanted to hear, Thanks guys!
I check to be sure lipo shut-off is on at the beginning of every race day. Will I see a difference in my new 40c venom packs over my old 25c Dynamite pack? THANKS AGAIN!

You might see a slight difference, mainly on the punch. Depends on how many mah your packs are and how much current your setup draws.

To be fair though you may not notice anything. Lipos handle power pretty well.

Ok? That doesn't mean that you need to do any special break in process....
