never used a lipo/brushless setup before... just had a quick question.

I just received my new lipo battery, but the charger won't be here till next week. Can I plug up the battery to test my electronics?

thanks!

Yes

I don.t see what a quick test would hurt.

Battery is more than likely in storage mode when shipped so yes a quick test would be okay, just don't run too long and get the battery voltage too low.

Your electronics has a low voltage detection?
If not, get a LIpo alarm....
