It's amazing how if you use a fully charged NiMH pack the wheels spin at one speed. If you then connect the LiPo Pack (which the charger said has about the same voltage) it's like it's been turbo charged! Really didn't think it would make that much difference but it must be the fact there is no voltage drop when you put the power on.
Cheers for the advice all... Need some more LiPos now! |
It makes a massive difference! I raced with NiMH & used to have to take this double jump almost flat out, from a short straight, to make it, next heat used the Lipo & almost sent the car into orbit!!
As already said, as long as they're not left fully charged for more than a day & storage charged (generally around 7.6v) when not in use, you'll be alright. Just keep an eye for swelling.
