      Hey guys, quick question. I'm storing my batteries (30c 2s 5000)...how many amps should I store them at on my charger? Can't find it in the owners manual.
      Thanks
      Don

        The storage mode on the charger should put them to around 3.8v per cell Don. It doesn't really matter what you set the amperage at as most lipo chargers will not discharge at more than 1.5 amps.

            Don, Bill is correct. My charger will only go up to 1amp on discharging lipos. I set it to that and if its a fully charged pack it will take quite a few hours to bring it down. After an Ackerman day, most of my packs are at storage within 30-45 minutes.

              hey guys,
              There was mention of beginning to run one day a month until it cools off a bit. Whats the thoughts of how we want to do this? Meaning, which Sunday and do we want to just do t&t runs or what?

                Hey Gimpy!

                I think everyone was thinking the 4th Sunday. Maybe you won't be so gimpy in another few weeks.

                    Hi Scott. Hope you're feeling better.
                    I'll agree with the 4th Sunday as well. Especially since I've already updated the website to reflect that.
                    On another note, (just for the records) I gave my key for the gate lock to Chris last time we were there. To me it made more sense for the person that's bringing out the boat to have it than me.

                        Hey guys,
                        Another quick question for you all. My ESC on my BJ took a crap. I have the stock motor, running a 442 prop. What are some recommendations on a new upgrade...120, 180 or 200 A and brand? Does anyone have a used one they want to sell?
                        Thanks,
                        Don

                          I see OSE has a swordfish pro 200 A for $110. Would this be a good fit for my BJ?

                            That would be a good replacement, that Pro 200 is a tough ESC. I've got a couple of them and they work great..

                              A 200A ESC in there is a little bit of overkill, but if you ever stick a larger motor in the boat it will handle it. A 120A ESC works nicely for stock motors.
