So i just run the switchless regulator, and unplug the battery from the regulator after each run.
Thats not the only way... I run the lipo+switch+regulator..... that way the reg. isnt pulling down the pack in between races. I also dont trust myself to always un-plug the battery after a race, the HB radio box is pretty tight so once I have everything crammed in there I dont want to open the box several times a night to plug/un-plug.... I'll definelty pinch a wire at some point and really have a good time
I've only opened the box a couple times in months, run the charge lead off the switch out of the box too.... I'm the ultimate lazy racer I guess
