What a coincidence, I have 2 ATVs sitting in a trailer in tulsa because the semi truck broke down. What a bummer because I thought I was going to get them tomorrow

lmao,

Nah, I'm in SC. Just pissy because my ATVs are in a broken down mother fucking semi on the side of the road somewhere. They were on backorder for like 5 weeks and they finally ship, and then the shipping company screwed up and thought my ATVs were actually already at the hub near my house and I would be able to pick them up tomorrow, but it turns out the truck was broken down and someone fucked up the manifest so the tracking info was wrong.

Glad I found out today rather than after a 1 hour drive to pick them up.

Just got back to Indy, got my parts in. I'm at work right now. I really can't wait to get home and install them when I was there the mail for the day didn't come yet. So maybe just maybe the BB will be there. Is there any other chargers I can charge the lipo with? says it takes 1 hour. all the other parts look good. I need a chassis and I would almost have a rolling truck. I'm also thinking of running it in a freestyle 1/18th and smaller race my hobbytown is putting on. So far I will be running the mammoth, and mrs4. Can't wait to run over someones 1/10th with the mammoth, lol.

Almost all lipos take a little more than an hour to charge from drained. Just read up on lipos and find out how to charge, what to do and not to do. Make sure you don't run them completely down. When it starts to lose it's punch it's time to stop and recharge the battery. Don't go until the battery gets hot & the car won't go anymore.

I think I read that Losi's LiPo batteries have a cut-off circuit to prevent you from taking it to too low a voltage.

So do I need to watch or time it, it should auto turn off when done charging. Also what about charging a lipo when its half dead? or peaking it when I get to the track? or is that not necessary with lipos.

I guess you could try reading the instruction manual.

They make those? Is that like porn?

Anywho, this thing is the fucking shit, still don't have my motor. I put on all the parts put in the battery and drove it around with the charge that was on it from the factory. Pretty impressive. I charged it then it started raining so no out side. It flys across my family room I can't even control it inside. The tires even ballon a crap load. I will get pics up in a while, I'm on the laptop right now and can't fidn my cardreader.

There is something called to much power. it is crazy I can go the speed of a stock micro t, punch it and it will ride a wheele till it flips over. I don't have my slipper locked either.
