Car Lipo

How do you use a lithium battery in an rc car?

i have an rc18 and i wanted too know how to use a li-po battery before i buy one? am i supposed too use the battery in my car until the car can't move anymore? i have a mamba motor ad esc will that shut of the motor when the lipo is complete? and how do i go about charging the battery?

lipo batteries should not be discharged below a certain point. a lot of esc's will have a voltage cutoff built in. you will need to see if the one you have has the cutoff.

as for charging lipo. you need to have a charger that can properly charge lipo batteries. the duratrax ice is a good charger to use.

starting electric RC racing car?

I am looking into an RC racing car(1/10th scale) and I have a budget of $400. I have decent experience having other RC cars and such, and my neighbor with a track has told me I drive his cars very well. I am looking for a buggie, truggie, or truck. it doesn't matter if it is brush or brushless, I prefer brushless, and I need a good battery and a good charger. NO LiPo. Please help me out as I am new to these cars.

i would strongly recommend Traxxas. they have the best cars, trucks, buggies. i have several of their products and have never had a problem with them. i would recommend their VXL Brushless series. they cost around $250-300 depending on where you buy from. a good 6-cell pack will cost you somewhere around $50-60, and Traxxas has a charger for $50. if you want something cheaper the Traxxas Slash is a really fun truck and costs about $200 and is upgradeable to brushless.

if you dont know where to buy from here are some sites:
