well this is what i do based on my own research .... please feel free anyone out there to correct me...
1. buy a good quality branded lipo from a model shop ( if your planning to race at brca meetings make sure its on their list of approved battery's )
2. buy a good quality branded charger from a model shop and always balance charge your batterys ( dont risk buying a random chinese copy of something )
3. make sure all your cables are soldered properly with good connections....
4 clearly label your plus and minus cables in your buggy with colour coded cables or at least heat shrink, or shorten one of the cables so that it can only meet the correct terminal of the battery ( reduces risk of shorting out a battery and esc..... ive stupidly damaged a speedo and a lipo by mixing cables! )
5 always charge your lipos in a battery sack ( special fire resistant bag )
6 when charging your lipo dont leave it unattended.
7 dont leave your lipo batterys fully charged for a long period of time put them in to storage charge level.
8 i use an old ammo tin to keep the batterys in .... and i keep them in the garage its cold in there epecially now but im not sure whaere else to leave them as i dont want to leave them in the house.
from all i have read up on if you follow the above you should be safe as houses....its all precautionary stuff... ive been running for a year now and touch wood no problems...
anyone else out there please correct me if ive missed anything
