Losi Micro Desert Truck LiPo Conversion?
I currently have a fully stock Losi 1/36 Micro DT including the stock 150 mAhNiMH battery which just isnt cutting the cake for me. I only get a few minutes of run time with this and would definitely like to change that, but as this is my first electric rc I have a few questions.
What I have in mind is replacing my current battery with this LiPo: I was thinking of simply strapping it to the top of my receiver and plugging it in. Then I asked myself is it really that simple? To my knowledge its all the right specifications (7.4v, 2S, 20C) but what I dont understand is this whole "Balancing" thing. Couldnt I just plug it in to the standard portable JST charger thats included with my truck? If not what would I have to do to make this battery work in my truck?
Thank you and God Bless
