I charge them when i get home after a race, and let them sit fully charged until raceday the next weekend. That's 6 days of fully charged and they still run perfect.....

Never out of balance and never swelled. Where did you get that info from?

Disjaukifa, I know exactly how you feel. I recently purchased a RC8Be and have yet to purchase my lipos because I just want to make sure I do all I can to protect my wife and child. I think what ever precautions we take that help us sleep soundly at night can never be too much of a precaution. Right now I'm leaning toward a lipo sack and a clay pot with sand in it in the garage on the concrete floor away from everything. My garage also stays pretty cool even in the summer.
