It's been about 6 months since I have used my lipo rec pack. I checked the voltage on it and it's at 7.55. Is it still good?

And how many amps should I charge it at?

As long as it didn't get lower than three volts per cell it should be fine. I always charged mine at 2 amps.

Charge at 1C, so if it is a 250 mah pack charge at .25 amps.

Thanks guys! My pack was bad, I hit the wall head on when it died 1/2 way through a first round.

lipos dont dump like ni-mhs do,It should of been fine from sitting that long.2 cell lipo should never get below 6 volts and never get over 8.4 volts.here lately I havent even been running a lipo recever,4min mains in our class dont need them..

This may have been asked or talked about all ready,If you have your recever pack pluged into your recever and your 1 cell pluged into your speed control and the switch turned on or off on the speed control should the(13.5) motor still run,Because this is what mine is doin.Can some one tell me if this is right or wrong if its wrong how do i fix it i have never ran a recever pack before.

Thanks Keith

The motor will still run. When racing, you should keep the speedo turned off. I use the plug on the receiver pack to turn the car off and on, I don't use a switch

Exactly how we ran our 4 cell promod cars 3 years ago.No regulator either,flawless.

After burning up a bunch of boosters, I haven't had one issue with this setup
