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?

http://www.hobbypartz.com/83p-800mah-2s1p-74-15c.html

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

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

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?

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.

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.
