Lots of things, lol. Makes it hard to find useful info. And that harder it is to find, the more questions get repeated. And the longer it gets. And more questions get repeated. and the longer it gets. And more questions get...

Just pre order the packs you want and you don't have to sit around and baby sit the website waiting for the stuff to show up. When the packs come in stock your order is first to get filled. I pre ordered 3 packs last week and got the shipping notification yesterday that they were sent out.

Well I'm waiting to hear about the 3s packs. I know Danny was waiting to hear back from the manufacturer about 3s and 4s packs. Then I saw that he was getting some 4s in, so I'm wanting to hear back on the 3s'. Thanks

Danny the batteries came in great, thx again.
Quick question for the community - I don't race, I only take the rc out to the local park or trail to bash through a pack or two. But common with most weekend excursions, sometime plans change and I would miss the park for the day. With that said, what is generally the longest I could safely keep/store a fully charged lipo for? And also vice versa, how long could I safely store a lipo that's drained from low voltage cutoff after a run? Would be unfortunate to rush home just to babysit lipos when there are other plans in the day.
Thx in advance.

I usually don't let mine sit fully charge for more than 24 hours. But I'm sure they can go a little longer. Not sure about leaving them sit after they are drained I always put mine in storage mode when I'm done

I couldn't imagine going to a 5S or 6S setup unless your doing only street runs for top end mph to be recorded.

Anyone else with input on how long I could safely keep a discharged lipo for? Honestly 24hrs would be good enough.
