    How do you choose LIPO number of cells.

    Sweet! Hitec chargers lack some of the high end features that I like but they are very accurate and made well and they probably make the best 4 channel charger out right now that I'm aware of. The features that I like arent really necessary anyway just very handy to have. I'm sure you'll really...

    How do you choose LIPO number of cells.

    Sorry man, I havent been around much. My wife and I are looking into buying our first house and I've been unbelievably busy. If you understand the naming convention of the iChargers you'll understand the difference between all the models or at least the vast majority of the difference. the 106...

    How do you choose LIPO number of cells.

    The Ice charger isnt bad but you need a stand alone balancer like an Astro Blinkie in order to you it with lipos and it doesn't have a storage mode but you can just discharge the batteries down to about 3.8 or 3.7V/C you'll just have to keep an eye on it while its discharging. I still have my ICE...

    How do you choose LIPO number of cells.

    I would recommend getting a better LiPo charger. Something like The iCharger 106b. Its a great charger with tons of features and its not terribly expensive for a charger in its class.

    How do you choose LIPO number of cells.

    5A on a 5000mAh Lipo is completely normal and safe. Its your typical 1C charge which is standard for all LiPos. You shouldnt have any problem charging them at that. Just make sure you storage charge them if your not going to use them for a week or more.

    How do you choose LIPO number of cells.

    Venom makes decent lipos. I generally only buy 40C or higher lipos. 30C you can get away with in some kits but I prefer to just get 40C+ so that no matter what I use them in they'll be fine. The higher the C rating the better although some companies I think have bogus C ratings...like maxamps...

    How do you choose LIPO number of cells.

    the more cells the more voltage. the more voltage the faster the motor will spin. You have to look at see what the maximum amount of cells or voltage your ESC and motor can handle in order to know which lipos are compatible. The EXO is designed to run on 2S or 2 cell lipos. IDK if it can handle...
