Hello Everyone
I just ordered two of these:

I plan to use them in the BJ26(with caution, tamiya/deans adapters, and the right prop[sm=eek.gif]) and my aeromarine shadow sport 40(not finished yet).
I plan to charge them w/duratrax pirahna charger:

And I need help with setting the:
1)amp charge
2)mV/cell
Any one have any ideas for what I should set them to?

I have heard varrying opinions on what batteries can take what charge rate.
My duratrax 3800s claim to be able to be charged at 5 amps, while I've read that the IB 4200 should only be charged at 2 apms.
I believe that you will be fine at 3.6 amps for your batteries, though I am not sure of the volatge setting.
My charger shuts down at the correct (I assume) volatge. You can get more confusing information here http://www.nitrokillers.com/showthread.php?t=554.
Where do you run in Mountain View? I live in SSF and usually go to San Francisco to run but I would like to check out other ponds.
Good Luck

I run at Los Gatos Creek Park at the middle pond, right where highway 85 and 17 intersect. Just south of that is Vasona Lake but it tends to get windy there.

Can someone explain to me how the mv/cell works out?
