Interesting topic... one which I want to follow... tagging in

As a general rule in an ammo can... but batteries I am going to be using I keep in a lipo bag for transport...

Take it like this... Knowledge is power... I also store my lipos in an ammo can... Perfect storage location... You should be ok between that and having a Lipo charging bag which is available at most RC stores...

Yup most aftermarket chargers for RC tell you mah input while charging...

Actually yes... we had a guy at the track smoke 2x 4s batteries in a bag... he was doing all the right things except the bag was open... so we had a bit of a flash fire... Dont let your batteries get below 3.2v per cell...(the actual threshold is 3.0v) and try to never charge at over 1C... I...

event page size fixed... if there is anything unreadable that people need info on just let me know... its not "my" event but I am "involved" with the shop and can get info as needed...

Heres a flyer for a local (to CT) meet up for racing and some flight demos... if you are within a reasonable distance check this place out... amazing amount of aviation gear as well as some pretty great offroad/oval tracks (this is my "local" 5th scale tracks)...

LOL well as long as you dont mind spending an extra $50 bones on your bag... ;)

I have a hard case on the way... but I always look for interesting ways to carry items I need while RCing... This pouch by Husky (Home Depot purchase) seems to be pretty decent... I have used it on an outing where I had to walk around a football field to film and it was pretty comfortable... it...

One thing I am not short of... is tools... :lol: I ordered the stock-style tilt lever for the controller.. trying not to do any mods for a while...LOL

I just purchased one today... so tagging the post... to see what answers get posted... :twisted:
