Anyone running LiPo's in their starter boxes, what C rating are you guys using and what mah?
I am switching over and would like to hear what most people are running and how long it usually last before a charge is needed.

look for the most mah you can get with the lowest C... you dont need a hi C rate pack for a bump box 15-20C is plenty.
example: you can easily go 2 race weekends on this pack.

My buddy keeps 2 Losi starter box LiPo's (LOSB9821) in his Ofna blue box, once one's done it goes on the charger and he can run the other one. That way he's always up.

Thanks everyone!!!!
I am looking at 4000mah with 10C and 15C burst so I should be ok or is it too low?
I do not have a voltage monitor or was aware you can put one on the pack itself. Should I basically just charge it after every race weekend or would that be killing the pack?

20C MINUMUM.....10-15C the motor's will not have the "umph" to start stubborn tight motor's....been there done that.....i run a 2200 25c and a 35c 3300 as a backup.

as for a monitor..you dont need a regulator....but these are a nice item to plug in at the beginning of the day and it will Audibly warn you if the pack is getting too low.

you can charge it after every meet...but lipo's like to sit at 60-70% charge.....so if you have a "store" feature on your charger it would be a wise idea to discharge to 60% after racing and re-peak on saturday or evening before the races.
