Hindi ako si Marvi pero I would agree with what he says (Get the Flight Charger) kasi the specs on the advanced series looks as if they have not completed the other functions on the charger.

Although Team Orion states that you dont need to balance charge their cells,
you will greatly improve your performance and longevity when balancing your packs during non-race days.

VoodooPH:

Most inline balancers can function using different chargers as long as they are lipo chargers. The problem is with the balance tap connector incompatibility since diff manufacturers of lipo use diff types of balance plugs.

But- it is very simple (using a voltage tester, soldering equipment) to make a proper adaptor to suit your batterys tap connector.

the hyperion I posted above is a good balancer since it allows you to do passive balancing as well as active balancing or even stand alone balancing (after a race day)

The hyperion looks like it will work with the MM Silent Charger (banana plugs). where is this available?

It will work bro, you can get it at the link i posted. Locally, you can get a clone of that hyperion at DuckRC (number is at RC shop directory)

re. balancing, as rajs said, orion suggests that there is no need to balance after every run. ive read that you can balance after about 30 runs, but ive also read that they were running lipos weekly for about a year without the need for balancing. you can check your platinum lipo if it is out of balance using a voltmeter. i forgot the minimum voltage difference acceptable for them to be considered to be out of balance

you can balance your platinum lipo using the flight advantage, carbon advantage, or ice clones ganito lang yun ...

1. positive charge lead on positive lipo plug
2. negative charge lead on lipo balancing plug (sa ilalim ng lipo battery)
3. charge to full capacity

pag nag peak na siya ...

2. negative charge lead on negative lipo plug
2. positive charge lead on lipo balancing plug
3. charge to full capacity

pag nag peak na ulit siya, ayos na, sunog na lipo mo j/k

ok na yan pag nag peak na. what you just did was charge each pair of cells separately ang design kasi ng platinum lipo, 2S 2P, meaning 2 cells (3.7v 2400mah each) wired in series (so magiging 7.4v 2400mah siya, diba pag series, nag-a-add yung voltage but mah remains the same?) then wired in parallel to another 2 cells (kaya nagiging 7.4v 4800mah siya, diba pag parallel, nag-a-add yung mah but voltage remains the same?)

hindi siya kasing accurate ng balance charging kasi pero ive read sa lipo thread na pwede na rin to

check mo yung mga recommended chargers ng orion for their platinum nung bumili kasi ako ng charger pang lipo, nag decide ako sa ice kasi yun ang isa sa mga recommended nila

lipo ka na! tamang tama yan sa jrxs type R pag nag tekin esc ka, spektrum micro receiver, at futaba 9550, tadtarin mo ng tingga yung chassis mo at mga 200+ grams underweight yan

marvi: sensitib! parang kang bading! hahaha joke lang! ok lang, nasagot na ni raj ... salamat nalang! hahaha ... mag lipo naman talaga ako. its just a matter of when. ... hehehe but seriously, thanks sa info. natutunan ko na rin sa waka ang ibig sabihin ng 2P 2S. siguro in a couple of months kuha na ako ng LiPo.

voodoo: kaw? may silent charger ka na diba? so when you getting LiPOs?

Guys, the P-Dub bumpers are on their way! They should be here by end of the week! Will compute the cost including all incidentals (ie. tax, shipping, etc). Will just PM you all once i get to compute everything.

Mini Toink/Mitch - 1 Xray
Gerry - 1 XRay, 1 JRXS
marvi/Fred - 1 BD, 1 JRXS
curious/Bing - 1 BD

nice! thanks gerry!

about the lipo battery... pag nagka funds at may available na. hehehehehe

robo/voodooh/marvi/rajs; i think the orion advantage will do fine with Lipo batts, provided you get the Team Orion Stability Balancing System ORI62204 for balancing.

Pitshop: pwede ba mag order nito?

Josh: Bl and Lipo for modified racing!! whoooohoooo!!!

voodoo: is that andy moore's pink ride? looking at the equipment seems like it is ... from RROC ba?

speaking of RROC, looks like the TC5 is promising did very well accross all classes. Hara seems to be struggling for a major win, and moore isnt as dominant as hara or rheinard were after they won thier championships. even for rhienard the big wins are not as frequent as before but he is still the most consistent it seems .... losi got whipped but then again they dont have nearly the on-road line-up as other teams .... and speaking of strong teams, despite having one team Xray seemed to struggle too (puro carpet kasi inaatupag).

mitch: pulang-pula ... nakaka-demonyo! bwahahahaha .... kuha na!!!
