Hi

Thanks for the links.

I have gone through them, and I have read tons os other posts. But I haven't yet found an answer to the simple question.
If I in an ordinary setup (e.g. NIHM) uses a battery with too low volt or too low discharge capacity, the truck just runs slower. But nothing explodes.

From one of the threads I have read (http://www.ultimaterc.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=115264) it says:

"...[using] lipos rated for slower discharge rate will cause your system to overheat and cog. "

"...100Amps is not enough for out 130Amp motor! It will create heat, cogging, resistance, some more heat and so forth in a vicious circle. "

- Why is it, that a Lipo battery with too little discharge capacity will explode a system, rather than just run slow? What is the chemical explanation?

- What is that heat/coq. Typically the engine? The ESC? The battery?

And the last question is for the other way around.
- Is it always safe to use lipo battery packs with higher than needed discharge levels?

I would guess it is, and bying these makes it more possible it will suit future systems, have better charge rate, and have an extra spare for the diminishing punch of the pack over time.

But I have read of people who have made a discharge setup of their own with e.g. car lamps, telling that the systems gets too hot and is close to melts down socket and lamp.
It makes it sounds that, rather than the source (the lamp) "pulls" the power needed, LIPO packs "pushes" power to whatever source connected and can explode/melt/flame these down if they are not strong enough. This sounds weird to me - but is it the case?

Thanx
