+1, and how you have charged it .

I treat my LiPo batteries pretty good, and hardly ever go above a 1C charge rate. Not to mention picking out a proper "C" rated pack for RC/motor application is just as important. Just because a LiPo battery is included in a RTR package doesn't mean it's the optimal battery.
