I will be racing 1/10 stock electric buggy and was wondering what charging and discharging rate should I be at to get optimum performance
Get a discharge resistor bank, 40amps discharge (to warm them) and 40amps to charge seems to be the common numbers thrown around the tracks lately. I personally haven't seen a fire, but it seems likely if you do this constantly.
