A pic of the front shocks of my Impulse PRO. I mounted the Lola bumper and modified the front upper bumper support plate in order that the Lola body fits correctly.
that looks like my modified front upper bumper for a Lola body too!!
Did the same thing.

The shock springs I'm using are red all round. Veteq red springs. I think it's a trick on Mark's Photoshop filter to fool around and change things and colours as you really see them...

But then again, u cannot follow blindly, its all depends on the track you are running. Just a though.

Yep, and all but one of those scenario is used by me.

.5amps is all I would charge any RC Car battery at.
I charge at a maximum of 50mah most of the time
I dont use anything more on the car than is needed to make it move (no failsafes, etc - just TRS's).
Humidity here is pretty low
Just my observations.

That track is a sure killer fro nitro cars. Excellent for stock 23 turn EPs. But the devil in me decided to run there for the first time...
Yes, with a Lola shell Well, at least I can say I did my part to help the LHS a little

I think we are talking about two different things. Crystallization due to over charging degrades the performance of the battery but rarely destroys the electrode plates inside the battery. I am talking about the deterioration of the separator due to oxidation. This is the most common failure mode found on Ni-Cd batteries.
CAF growth occurs along the glass fiber/resin on regular FR-4 material used in PCB fabrication. The conditions and materials involved are totally different from that of the Ni-Cd batteries; I think it is not correct to relate those two phenomena to each other.
effect amount the PCB engineer are facing problem today for designing high density multilayer fine pitch BGA?
1)The applied voltage drawn from it or the charge is low.
2) The applied current drawn from it or the charge is low.
3) He or She do not use it regularly.
4) Keep the charge rate at normal discharge stage not Full charge.
5) Low humidity places
I am really having doubt about any Ni-Cd battery, under normal use, in a R/C nitro car environment (heat, vibration, shocks) can last 16 years. But if you think if is possible and is indeed common, then so be it.
By the way, throwing scientific/engineering terms, acronyms like CAF, BGA……ETC. ETC.) on the forum sure sounds impressive but it is not necessary. This is only a R/C car forum on the internet, it would not help you get anywhere. You should throw those out on your resume or when you are having a job interview. Hope this helps.

Hi there, please don't take it the wrong way. The original message and advise was intended for supra528. If you look at his post for help on the car, you'll know that he may not be too familiar with things.
I went through that and I thought I would just share what could happen if you mess up with things. As you know, the what if situations can come when you do not need them the most. Shit happens. Just sharing my personal experience.
If I underestimated supra528's capabilities, my apologies. For all we know, he may have a job like what nizee is having... Doing soldering work for a living If he's just daring enough to want to try it out and solder the pack for himself, why not. My advise is open. If you want it, take it. If you feel it's ridiculous, then just ignore. I won't take heart to that.

Shit does happen, but you cannot predict everything, expecting what could happen and what would should be done about it. Too many “what if” can only slow you down.
To me, it is not a matter of saving $5 or not, it is a matter of doing it, experiencing the hobby, and learning and enjoying at the same time.
Too bad I can only come out and play at night for a short while without getting into trouble, otherwise it would be fun trading ideas or crossing words with you.
Cheers~~~

Seems redundant to me, high density or fine pitch should be enough, but it sure does sounds better and impressive. With proper circuit layout, substrate material selection and board fabrication, CAF growth can be eliminated. I can’t believe some PCB engineers are still having problem with that. Hope this helps.

Don’t understand this. You mean to charge the battery below its normal 1.2V ?
Unless he is using a ultra low power consummation receiver/servo system, otherwise this scenario will not happen.
Possibe, if 1) and 2) above was realized. It would take He or She forever to charge or discharge, he or she will not be able to use it regularly.

Not paid to answer all this for debate.
