When it comes to radio control cars, remember that temperature is the killer. A common feature of all three components of our power plant is being adversely affected by temperature.

Temperature is often an important radio control cars aspects. Many pieces can be affected by temperature. It is preferably to get an infrared thermometer to measure temperatures overcome not work specified for each component (Lipo,Temperature and other radio control cars factors Articles ESC and motor). If you do not have a thermometer, and as home rule, everything should go down to a temperature that can touch it with your fingers for 5 seconds without burning or discomfort.

One way to reduce consumption, and therefore the temperature of the components, download the "timming" in the ESC. A Lipo pack in good condition never heats up during charging radio control cars. It should discard those that are cool packs when held. We always measure the pack before going to fly. A loaded pack should be between 4.1 and 4.2 V per cell, on the other hand, if the voltage is less than 3.8 V per cell with nothing connected except the voltmeter will have to recharge the battery before you leave. Measurement can be done with any digital multi meter on the scale of 20V DC. We should never charge more than Lipo 4.2 V per cell. That is, if our Lipo charger supports must be programmed to limit the voltage does not exceed this value.

We should never download the Lipo less than 3V per cell, ie cutting the ESC must be at least 6V for two cells in series, 9V for 3, and 12 for 4 cells in series. If Lipo "inflate" is because they are damaged and should be discarded. The balancers are safer loading, increase shelf life, and in my experience, improve the performance of Lipo. On the other hand, the cost is much lower than in a pack, which is a good radio control cars investment.

The correct way to dispose of a pack is, once downloaded is to leave them 24 hours immersed in salt water. Then you can pull together with household waste and Lipo technology that does not deteriorate the environment. Never puncture or cut the pack because it generates calls and can explode. It's true. If the pack has suffered a stroke (although it is not deformed), avoid recharging immediately and let it rest and sight for several hours. A pack may ignite beaten.

Program, the radio control cars! Depending on the brand of ESC programming can be done via a PC over an adapter, using the radio (by moving the throttle stick), or a programming card. The latter type of programming is without doubt the friendliest.
