Maiden went great, my Revolt looked good out of box. Checked it and greased, ran 2 4s batteries through it with no issues.
Or so i think.. I may have ran my batteries down too far, first pack ran to speed control cut off and next one i stopped when the speed dropped off.
The 5000mah Venom pack took 4700 back in and the 4500mah Turnigy took 4300mah, from what i am reading i should be looking to leave a little more than that in the pack. The Venom pack seem slighly puffed (hard case so hard to tell for sure) but it may be me being paraniod. Both packs did balance out ok, the turnigy took a little longer to balance than usual but both appear good to go.
These are 30c packs, on a stock set up should i being timing it for about 4 minutes instead of waiting on the speed control or power drop?
Is there a way to increase the cut off on the speed control to not run the cells so low? Boats will get alot more expensive if i fry batteries everytime..
