1s lipo for a mardave

state side
usa

Second column down in accessories, but its an add on extra..........

Lee, i have ordered one of the cheaper lipo's it should be here Monday or Tuesday ill post up what i think as i should be able to use it for racing wednesday night

the fact that its says input voltage 1S says to me it has the voltage booster built in to it

see the liitle board shrink wrapped in the power cap pretty sure that is there booster

LOL thats accessories . . . . TO BUY

So we are still on the assumption it has or has not got a Booster in it . . .the capacitor is . . .



POWER TRANS-CAP MODULE REQUIRED
An external 2S Power Trans-Cap module is installed on ESC & MUST be used at all times. Failure to use a Novak Power Trans-Cap module with the proper cell rating will result in higher ESC temperatures & possible thermal shut-down or damage.

I got an email from Brent in USA and he says its not got one built in

Any way mine is working with out the LiPo booster so who else is working with out 1

lmao who cares it works on 1s we know this its been run and works

lol

Neil that LiPo is only rated at 45c

i was pointing out that schumacher in the uk do them speedpower lipo

this is where i got mine from

bit of a difference

oh my god Neil . . .

You cant use that its not on the BRCA LIST of LiPos . . . .

Mate why did you not check the list first


People please check the list before buying LiPo's

Homologation Lists - 2011 Updates < < < < click

if schumy are importing them they will go on the list

But that one is not

so your telling me every one is running batteries that ARE on the list , think me and you will have a walk round the pits next meeting Gaz

uuuum pretty sure that's what i said Gaz, it was in the acsessorie section i got it wrong the first time buy not reading it properly.

Anyway i agree with Neil i think it does have some sort of booster built in as im not using the small servo's like most of you guys i have a beast of a servo and it's running just fine.

At the end of the day if it aint broken dont try to fix it.......... its working and that's all that matters who cares why as long as it does

it only matters if your running in a national BRCA sanction event.......!

No thats fine Marti im just trying to clear up the

" it has / has not got a booster "

Wrong . . . .

All clubs are ( well most are affilated ) and the problem is just kicking off with a lipo that went up and a bill of £400 to a person as LiPo was not on list and brca wont cover the cost so the driver has now got a bill of £400

well the ones i run now are not on the list so thats me f****d again ??

well when every one else runs batts that are on ethe list i'll change em till then i am running em

taken from other forum so please make sure your LiPo is on the brca list

Hi All,

Having seen the nature of this thread, I thought it would be a good location to share a little bit of info about a recent insurance claim...

A young racer recently bought some LiPo batteries from an online retailer selling through E-Bay, the battery arrived without incident and was taken, still sealed in its packet to said racers local club. The LiPo was opened at the club and immediately burst into flames (as I understand it, it was due to sub-standard wiring shorting the cell out), the racer made for the nearest door with the now alight battery, which consequently got dropped on the entrance hall carpet (which was only a couple of weeks old and had the school logo in it (the club uses the school to race at btw)).

Needless to say, a hole was burnt in the carpet, and the school presented an invoice to the club for the replacement of the carpet, the club in turn claimed on the BRCA insurance. When the insurance company investigated the claim and asked the question ‘Who is the importer of the batteries?’.

These cells had been bought from a supplier in China (I believe this was done in innocence) and had no CE marking or tractability, so the racer is now classed as the importer and found himself presented with a bill for £540 for damages to the School carpet from the insurance company....

I’m not trying to scare anyone off buying cells from E-Bay, all I am saying is be careful. The link above looks ok to me (with my limited knowledge) but it’s always worth checking what you’re buying and making sure the distributer has suitable credentials & insurance. Please note:- by stating it looks ok to me, I'm not accepting any responsibility for these cells

I’m going to let Jim know I’ve posted this and am happy for it to be updated if any of the info is inaccurate, but this is certainly my understanding of the discussions I’ve been privy to.

Sounds like the cells have leads fitted Neil! If so then I'll leave them as I really want the 4mm plug type (so used to them now) Bargain at that price!!
