I think everyone is forgetting abut the fact that you need to balance Lipo's and Life batteries! Unless you drill a huge hole in your receiver box (which allows a lot of dirt in) you have to unscrew your receiver box evey time you have to charge your lipo/life battery!
With nimh you only need to add a charging extension to your battery lead and you can hook it up to your battery charger directly!

For all you guys that have screw down batt box lids with a little room around the screw head you can sometimes use the AE cap screw with holes drilled sideways through it for a skinny body clip. When installed it looks like the little molded in plastic nubs with a hole going sideways for a body clip.
The AE screw is made for the batt hold down bar on a T3/B3 & motor gear covers.Wont fit in every situation but may make some of your lives easier.

It was about 8months before I balanced my hyperion pack. It was still perfectly balanced. While I do not discount the importance of a pack staying balanced in my experience with several 2s and 4s packs they don't need balancing very often. I check them every once and a while and if something is weird I will keep a closer eye on them. I have very rarely had a pack be more than .2V per cell unless it was going bad.

My brand new LiFe Protek receiver battery started to bloat on my initial charge. It was set on LiFe, 1.0A charge rate and balancing tap connected to the balancing board.

Is it safe to run LiFe straight on non-HV Savox and Hitec servo's?
