This lipo looks interesting! Would this plug work with spektrum rx though?

Is 15c too much for the receiver? Most receiver packs are 5c. Or does it matter?

Started using these last summer. Ordered 5 of them just in case. They have slightly over an hour run time when you count warm up time before the race.

Before these batteries I kept trying to use LiPo's with 1500mah and 2000mah capacity, but they were dropping like flies. The off road use kept causing them to short out or just swell. So when I switched to the little batteries in the link above I could put more foam padding around them for more protection. And surprise...they come out looking new, work perfect, and no more battery failures.

Frank,

C rating should make no difference to the Rx. Voltage input is voltage input. The c rating on a lipo is basically its load rating. the higher the c rating the more load the pack can withstand.

That being said there is no standardized way of determining the C rating on a lipo. Each manufactor uses their own method so one company claims a 50c pack while if it were tested by a different company they may consider it 35c. C Rating is a bell and whistle, marketing tool...imo

Use the 4 hole.

Thanks for the info. I do like bells and whistles and my 50c batteries rock.

Integra,

Looks like a great deal!! Do you use these? Would the plug on these work with spektrum receivers?

they look like the same plug thats on the hobby king batteries

Hi all
A quick one. Do u use the manual specified method to bleed your shocks. That is install bladder with piston set at desired rebound, then cap. Or cap with bladder inside and bleed through the hole in the cap?
I saw a vid by Adam Drake and he was using the first method but he was also using foam compensators and drilled shock caps. Does it have to do with compensators, that he is using the bladder-first-method?

ok thanks man but isnt the a hole on the 2.0 hub give you the most rotation but than what hole would i have to use than for that ?

thats what im looking for i dint like the b hole on the 1.0 t.

plus the wire isn't long enough to reach the rx.

Use Drake's method whether or not you're using the drilled cap/foam.

Doesn't matter, My 900's are 15C and have never had an issue.



Yes ive used these for the past couple year's with great success, I think Ive tossed out 2 in total.

Hey guys I was wondering how you have your shocks threaded? I don't have a droop guage or ride height gauge so and I have the RTR 2.0 T. I havent touched the droop screws at all and I want to get the shocks set to Adam Drake's setup. I have had the shock set by eye but now I have a caliper and want to be more precise.
