LiPo Questions
I've got two easy LiPo question for you guys...
1: When my brother in-law upgrades his Stampede to LiPo, will a 20c LiPo be sufficient enough? It has a Sidewinder SV2 and a 4600kv motor.
2: When I charge my Dynamite 5300mah LiPo, it will not charge to 5300mah. It stops at about 4800mah. Why is that?

RE: LiPo Questions
what mah is the 20c batt? if it's 5k or above he should be fine.
your batt stops @ 4800 because it's not 100% empty, if it was it would be dead. low votage cutoff leaves some juice in there to protect the pack.

As above. Only I'd say even a 3500mAh pack at 20C would not be strained in that application. Anything higher of course is gravy.

RE: LiPo Questions
The 20c lipo for the stampede is a 5000mah.
as for the charging, sounds good. I just wasn't sure as to why it was not topping out like the other lipo
