I'm thinking about getting one of the bit size lipos and hooking it up to a charger (set to the highest possible setting) just to see what happens. Maybe I should do it outside though. :lol:

So first you need to build an RC or automatic "Pile Driver" attachment for something... Tractor, semi, something Duratrax, whatever. Build it close to fireproof.

After the video camera is set: On a fireproof surface hook up to a Lipo charger set way too high for the battery, put the monitor thermocouple in a cup of icewater, put lipo under your new piledriver toy, stand well back, start it...

Take still pics too, it'd just be too cool not to!

Why use an itty bitty one when you can use a new 740mAh cell for about $4

or if you REALLY want to use a small one, they have 70mAh for under $2
