lipo
i was charginh my lipo today and i knowtice that my charger said 4.2v per cell or something close to that .. i aborted the charge and was wondering if its bad for the lipo to be that high in voltage while charging ... the battery wasent hot or even really that warm for that matter

RE: Is this right??
if its 7.4v it should only be a 3.7v per cell actually any lipo should only be 3.7v per cell

corrosion is your answer then he probly ran it wet and over time built up corrosion brush it off and you should be fine you could even spray battery proctor on it to prevent that in the future

RE: need response like now
yea i also run traxxas waterproof servos in all my trucks regardless of the receiver.. and it would be nice if they would make them compatable with each other but im sure they code the boards so that they only work with that brand ... if they were all compatable alot of the compianies would go out of buisness due to people buying one kind of recive and another transmitter.. considering the transmitter seems to be where they make their money

what i dont get is why you all get annoyed with the how fast how high and how much questions.... i could maybe understand if its repetitive but if you would answer their question maybe you could add another RCer to the mix.. some people just would like to know.. its human curiosity...and when u make smat remarks it makes us RCes look like ass holes ... so in reality when u ignore or even make smart comments at these questions instead of answering them.. your killing this hobby.... the way i see it is inform them as much as possible ... then if they still ask stupid questions.. just direct them to you lhs and make them deal with the stupid questions lol
