"For racers who want to maximize performance you can lower internal resistance by discharging the pack from a storage level (3.8 volts per cell) at 25-30 amps down to 3.2 volts per cell. Then immediately recharge at max recommended charge rate for the pack until fully charged. This lowers the internal resistance of the pack and gives it more punch.' (Recommended for mine is 3C, 15A)"

I am pretty sure that this is only meant to do every once and awhile to refresh the battery.

The key to good performance is to use a freshly charged battery right before each race. When the LiPo is warm you get the best performance. I don't see the need to discharge the battery in between races, just charge it. Then when the racing is over for the day, discharge each battery to the storage voltage.

Best regards,
