9 amp charge? i was told by one of the battery matchers that all that does is burn up your cells and gives a performance boost for about 10 seconds if that
The other week i borrowed a lipo for one qualifier. i went from 50grams overweight to 150 grams under. I actually ran slower because as you say, it kept tipping over.. i would take a corner a little tight touch what we use as a ripple strip and it would just roll. I also found i couldnt hold it flat through the sweeper because it kept stepping sideways.
