As said 1C is generally the max charge rate for Lipo.

Make sure the charger is on Lipo mode!!

How they charge: At the set charge rate until the voltage reaches 8.4V, then the current is dropped, keeping the cell voltage at 8.4V, charger will cut off when the charge rate is around .5A or so. (This is the industry standard charge method for lipos, CCCV, constant current, constant voltage.)

Don't keep running them until the car stops, that will cause damage to the lipo. After the run just charge them up again.

If you're unsure, just ask track side.
