I havent even had the time to build the Web Special yet with the purchase of a new full scale car I was planning on running it, but I'm figuring out the Losi, found a pretty good setup yesterday, hopefully I can find one just as good this Sunday. And I must say I do like the quietness of the Losi

I think "Losi" is just a brand name

I guess technically it's also Gil's last name

Default Diffent Cell, Different Temperature reading

I notice that when I completed charging the pack (6 cell) each cell has different temperature reading (with temp gun). I've tried with ther pack with same result, it's not necessary in order the cell is located in the pack.
Ie. After charging with LRP Charger with 6A, 30MV, the cell reach 3300 and stoped, cell one may read 135, cell two 119,120,155,130 etc. I sometime see one cell reads 170 while another cell reads 120 on the pack.

What does the difference in cell temperature telling me? are the hotter cells means it's dying and need to be replaced?

I use Eagle Racing SP Saddle discharger tray to Equalize, then condition the pack before charging.

By the way it's Orion GP3300 I tested on (about 20 runs on these packs), I haven't perform any readings with new Fukuyama batteries yet.

All I can say is that "that's the nature of the nimh cells.". some will have a higher temperature mainly due to it's internal chemical reaction.

Hey Dan, since you're going to bring your portable nuclear powerplant. If we're short on power, can we plug an extension chord into yours? Fukuyama Portable Power Racing!
