RE: problem with my drifter
Running a battery until it is almost totally dead is a big no-no. Even for lipos. When you notice it starting to lose considerable power and punch is when you should stop using it, let it cool down, discharge on a tray and then recharge. I don't use lipos yet so I don't know if after each use you should balance it and then recharge.

Sounds like the battery is already ruined. It only takes one time to over discharge a battery and ruin it. I've done it before. It stinks making mistakes in this hobby 'cause it gets expensive.

I suggest you provide a lot more information such as: what esc, what motor, what battery, what voltage did your battery read when fully charged, how much mah did you put back in the battery... etc.
