someone told me not to play more than 10 mins at once...that's so annoying!
how can we not over-use it?作者: 光丑猶仗凡 時間: 2010-5-25 13:35
some esc hv lipo cut off function ( but not 100% accurate)
the best way is to check the voltage every 3-5 mins, and u can find out how long u can play.作者: nel3838 時間: 2010-5-25 13:44
new technology needs need management method...
lipo needs esc to auto cut off, and/or use a simple battery monitor onboard.作者: hardmankam 時間: 2010-5-25 14:44 本帖最後由 hardmankam 於 2010-5-25 14:47 編輯
Fast motors, play 6-8 mins
Med motors, play 10 mins
Slow motors, play 12-15 mins
Black Pig, 20 mins
Another option you can consider is to use LiFe (or A123) batteries.作者: oolong 時間: 2010-5-25 15:29

check once only~
u can find out how long yr lipo can play ma~
buy a lipo voltage checker, it can shows how many V each cell left~
not lower than 3.2V each cell is ok作者: hardmankam 時間: 2010-5-26 14:47 回復 11#gwinanthony1985
are you playing 1/8 scale? since you mentioned 14.8v and 2000kv motors.
if you are, you should look into buying a high 'c' value battery, at least 30C.作者: gwinanthony1985 時間: 2010-5-26 21:32 回復 15#hardmankam
yes you are right
and i am using 40C battery..
damn! my battery is a little bit inflated..
should i still use it ?作者: hardmankam 時間: 2010-5-27 00:01 回復 16#gwinanthony1985
1/8 scale system uses a lot more current than 1/10 system. if you want to use 14.8v, try getting 2 packs of 7.4v instead of 1 pack of 14.8v. (try to get brand names ones, like IP or SE etc...)
With Lipo, dont over play the car is the only way to prevent inflating.
As mentioned before, you can try 2 x LiFe (2 x 6.6v=13.2v). You do not have to worry too much about over-discharging LiFe packs as they are safer and has less maintenance than Lipo. I find LiFe is a very good choice for offroad applications.作者: GigaRacer 時間: 2010-5-27 07:54
What is the Lipo Battery brand? I have been using Team Orion, no issue at all. Does your ESC have lipo-cutoff function?作者: gwinanthony1985 時間: 2010-5-27 14:21 回復 17#hardmankam
Thanks for the information!
how much is the Fe pack?
also my battery is just inflated a little bit...should i still use it ?作者: hardmankam 時間: 2010-5-27 16:58 回復 19#gwinanthony1985
1. 6.6v LiFe packs varies from $200 to $300 depending on capacity.
2. If inflated just a little, its ok to use, but at your own risk. however, it is better to throw it away.作者: gwinanthony1985 時間: 2010-6-13 19:15 回復 14#光丑猶仗凡
i think last time i played until the volts dropped to around 3.6V....the battery inflated already.... ><作者: gwinanthony1985 時間: 2010-6-13 19:16 回復 20#hardmankam
inflated just a little bit...
let me take the risk !!!作者: Noir.KAZE 時間: 2010-6-13 19:41
