chargers can be had for £30 ish
clubs are covered by the brca to use em (insurance)
the best way is to only allow packs in manufactures casing
some of us (trakpower drivers) were asked to abuse our lipos while testing
this ranged from charging at 10 amp (lipo only charger) and hard hits/jumps.
no problems at all
three main rules with lipo
only use lipo charger
dont discharge below 6 volt, some speedo's have this feature, device can be bought from novak/trakpower
let em cool if warm before charging
DCM i would hardly class nimh as safe! a young lady on rcracechat has poss lost one eye and had reduced vision in the other, from nimh exploding.
the current 4200 are poping like WWII bombs!

i heard it was a lipo at ameeting today please confirm this as you probably have the most valid argument for legalising lipos then also dont u think there is an econaomic factor in not making these things legal for use ie u dont need five packs of batteries to race just top up the lipo and mr modelshop if there are any left sells u these products
