I never gave it much thought until just now, and Lipo is new to me for the hobby.(Always was Nicd/Nimh back in my day)
*So...how about we talk about the advantages/disadvantages of both types of Lipos and what ECX models are more susceptable to Lipo damage when running?(I assume that is the purpose of the hard case lipo..battery protection)
-I have both types of Lipo's for my Ruckus 2wd. Seems to me, the soft case is what I prefer, as I can easily identify any problem that may begin to show with the battery.
**Another topic...I find myself NOT using all of the charge in the batteries. With decent batteries 5000mah...more often than not, I am done running before AUTO battery cut-off happens(3.2v/cell)......what's your opinion on this?...is this how you use your LIPOs too?
**I am able to have 10 minutes or so worth of fast fun on a 3s 5000mah with a Castle Creations 4106-4600kv/Mamba X on my 2wd 1/10 Ruckus, unplug battery, let it sit till next day, do the same all over again(still no auto lipo cut-out). When recharging, I can see I am bringing pack back to 12.6v, its balanced within .01v and typically it calculates I AM RECHARGING 4300-4500MAH worth of charge back into the pack.
