Good to hear all went well Dave. I hope we can run them this winter. (either on carpet or dirt!).

Thanks Razoo , i like what i felt and saw with the speed etc, truck was slighty looser i think because of the 3-4 oz lighter . I used my lipo sack , never went above 5.0 amps and all was good . We had 9 trucks this week and i heard maybe two more next week so maybe that class is on a comeback. .....................Larooooooooooooo

I've been thinking about putting the BL in my T4 and picking up a Lipo just to play with in my backyard. I'll have to send my Turbo 35 to CE for the conversion first though.

Razzz i could'nt get my Turbo to charge my lipo , i think it was because i did'nt have the correct balancer to make it work. i ended up with Checkpoint charger, works great , balancer plugs in to charger abd leads go to pak . Now i have to figure out how to bolt my Lipo in my EDM safely .....project for the week.....................laroooooooo

isruptor, go o walmart and get the 5' roll of velcro from the fabric dept. cover one side of the battery and the tray. It won't come out. I have 3 terminators with open trays and have yet to have one come out, let alone come loose. Don't pull on the wires to remove the batter, it sticks in the car too hard for that.

i use the checkpoint balancer. it can be used either as a chargethrough or you can use it to discharge balance.
