WSM G2G planning/ chit- chat

Wow, sorry to hear that! Glad everything is OK!!

Missed having you out there today. We both found the cold weather effects on our rigs.

 

[sweli]

So SkaterHawk, how did the pack go up? While charging? Was it wet? Charging right after a heavy run?
Just curious.

 

[WyldWeazel]

You and me both Sweli. My packs are over 2 years old, and severely abused.

It was used with out balancing for most of it. The thing was puffy and had a deep cut on top

ahhhhh.

Eyes are open now.
I ordered two more lipo sacks today. I've outgrown the two I already have.
Going to get rid of the two puffy packs I have gotten in trade.


Jim,
RC4WD Two Face tires are not that great at crawling or much else. Wonder how they would be in the snow? They have a nice wide stance.

Happy new year everyone.
Finally got a chance to mock up the metalheads this morning.

[sweli]

[itsjust me]

I thought about it a while ago because I run two of my rigs with two 900mah batts in them through a harness (2S2P).
One of my chargers can charge that way. I have two Blinky balancers that I would plug one into each batt balance port as they charged.

Your not thinking of series - two 2s batts charging as 4s?

there is a bit out there on it:

[skaterhawk2001]

I was wondering if it was a safe way to charge. If none of you guys do then im not going to try. Especially after the great smoke show with my last lipo.

Sorry i'm gonna be the naysayer.

Why?
Ok, because the tech is cool and it hasn't been done. I get it.
But wholly cow why?

Interesting find. Sorry for my negativity.
