Default Castle Creations - Its ok to run Nimh on "Auto Lipo" (Mamba)...

Gang,

The Tech Support at Castle Creationssaid that the Mamba ESC comes pre-programmed for LIPO. We then started talking about how to program the ESC to run the included Nimh batteries in my E-Revo just during the break in period.

He said that I can leave theESC in the"Auto Lipo"setting when running the included Nimh and that itWONT hurt them...

Is that true?

Thanks,

I don't think they would come with the NiMh if that were false. I'd give it a test before a run to see if it works.

It won't hurt the NIMH batteries but you won't get optimal run time out of them.

You can take what a Castle tech told you as gospel every time. They are pretty good that way, and they always err on the side of caution.
