      @@crazyhobbies4695 with regard to the mAh and the weight of the lipo etc. would a lower S with a higher mAh have more weight than a battery of higher S?
      I am very close to being able to afford an Xmaxx and have been looking into lipos and chargers. Im in Qld and the local hobby shop has a 4s 14.8v lipo with 9000mAh, Would this have more weight than the 7000mAh 6s lipo in the video? (I know that 2x4s lipos is best for the Xmaxx I was just asking specifically about the weight).
      Also to slow down how quick the esc and motor heats up what options are there as far as cooling fans for each of these electric components?

    Another compliment on this video after watching numerous other lipo battery videos! What I notice is that other videos push getting a proper number for each specification, yet I still walk away with questions. This video does a GREAT job of isolating each number, before moving on to the next so I don't get re-confused all over again. Thanks!

    Thank you very much for making this video! It's very clear, and I mean VERY clear! I just got my first charger in today, after spending the last five years charging my 2s batteries with the help of a trickle charger... Yeah, seriously! Whenever me and my son wanna go out with the cars, I needed to start charging like 2 days before the bash session, because I needed to charge 8 5000 mah batteries. Also, the storage mode is something that gives me a LOT more peace of mind, because I never used a storage mode.
    Just as an addition; I have bought myself an ammo box to store the batteries in. The bags are used when charging AND the charging is done OUTside of the house.
    I really enjoyed the video and learned quite a lot.
    Thanks again!

    @TheRoadTaken Před rokem

    WOW, just wow! What an easy to follow but better yet easy video to finally understand. I _almost_ didn't watch when I saw how long it was but I am *so* glad I did! Not joking, every single question I had was answered. It' like you looked into my brain and plucked out the exact things I was lost on.
    I picked up a charger based on a recommendation but wasn't sure how to use it (the manual was useless and the other YT videos I've watched didn't help me understand). I've had the charger and batteries for 9 months and I haven't used them. I knew the batteries were in storage mode so I haven't touched them. The RC truck has been sitting in a box for 9 months. Seriously. I was afraid I was going to burn my house down. In your video, you said they are all the same - while I have a different charger than what you showed, the screens were almost identical and I was able to follow along finally able to *_safely_* charge my batteries now. I also know and understand how to put the batteries in storage mode, and how to keep them from fainting... and so much more. To say "thank you" doesn't do this video justice but I'll say it anyway, thank you, truly. I really enjoyed driving my new truck around yesterday.
