coming to a bury meeting near you........

[Cremegg]

cheers guys

do you have a link for this charger

[Gavin Collingwood]

At what point did I mention JE?... By mentioning woody I was implying that if the core rc charger is good enough for an F1 driver it's good enough for us. Personally I'm not bothered where he buys it from.

[Gavin Collingwood]

It's the core uac-50 put it in google

[Gavin Collingwood]

But seen as I know you like 10 mins away from JE it makes more sense to buy it from there as supposed to buying from a shop that's bloody miles away

They will price match it for you? so same price come on now wakey,wakey,haha

[Si Coe]

Good luck complaining to Giant Shark. The Shark part of the name comes from their dreadful returns policy which actually breaks UK law. Make enough of a fuss and they will eventually refund because as I said UK sales law demands it, but expect a fight first.

Core chargers are pretty decent - they have long been one of the most popular makes for chargers at UK meets.

[Chris Elworthy]

I agree with Gavin (for once!) you may as well get the charger from your local shop that is JE. Jony, I cannot see how you think you can get the charger cheaper at Modelsport, they retail at around £60 quid wherever you buy them then you would have to pay postage costs and wait a few days for it to arrive, seems illogical with such a good shop so close.

Don't get me wrong I have no affiliation with JE Models whatsoever but supporting your local shop is very important. We in this area are very very lucky to have a shop with such a good range of products at competitive prices on our doorstep meaning allowing us up easily get hold of parts and tyres when we need them without having to wait for mail order.
For years I raced having to order from Apex, Modelsport and the like and JE has made it a breeze that nearly all racers across the country would envy such convenience.

Jony appears to have a vendetta against JE for them not honouring club discount anymore, big deal! They are still as cheap as anywhere else.

Support your local shops, we would all miss them if they weren't there.


Over and out

Are they that bad? a guy who i work with uses these and says there very good.

Im not looking for a refund for now, just a replacement as it maybe faulty and if that one messes up then ill ask for a refund

JE models are out of stock of them core chargers

eventually if they do refund back, ill have a look into that core charger from modelsport

[Chris Elworthy]

Fair enough pal.

[Cremegg]

hi guys

i guess this is bad?

Ive charged and used both batteries tonight and run them through the buggy Both lipos ran down to 3.7v/cell

charged back up and the following has happened (see pictures)

does this look like a charger or battery issue?

cheers

EDIT - sorry there abit small but cell 1 shows 4.22 and cell 2 shows 4.11

[Gavin Collingwood]

Can't read that, also you shouldn't run the lipos down to the low voltage cut off. The LVC is a last resort really like a fail safe and it isn't a great idea to let it cut off very often. What you should do is drive the car and about a lap or two before the LVC kicks in you'll notice the car feel 'soft' (accelerating slower) what to do then is stop the car and take it off the track.

cheers mate

its showing cell 1 at 4.22 and cell 2 at 4.11

im guess thats bad

[Gavin Collingwood]

4.22? Volt I'm presuming? And they won't charge anymore?

[Cremegg]

yer

i think the charger must be broke because from the charge cycles its done its never finished

new charger time me thinks

[Gavin Collingwood]

I never cycle or discharge as they don't need it like nimh do. I just keep charging it and every so often I balance them

[Cremegg]

oh sorry no i mean by charge cycle as in charging the battery back up

i ran it down by bashing it on the street tonight

then charged it back up to see them abnormal voltages

[Gavin Collingwood]

Did you run it flat?? Or low voltage cut off?
