LiPo Batteries
LiPo batteries are intended only for the most advanced users that are
educated on the risks associated with LiPo battery use. It is critical to
follow all instructions supplied by the battery manufacturer and the
charger manufacturer for proper charging, use, and storage of LiPo
batteries. Make sure you understand how to use your LiPo batteries.
See Safety Precautions and warnings on page 4 for more information.
Temperatures and Cooling
Monitoring temperatures will extend the lives of the batteries and
motors. There are many options available that will help you monitor
temperatures and cool your components.
Temperature sensor
To accurately monitor motor temperature and
prevent overheating, a telemetry temperature
sensor (part #6523) can be installed on the
motor to continually monitor temperature as
you drive. Generally, try to keep your motor
below 200° F. If necessary, increase airflow to
the motor by cutting out the rear of the body or windshield.
Heat sink cooling fan
The VXL-3s is equipped with an additional
connector to supply power to an optional heat
sink cooling fan (part #3340). The optional heat
sink cooling fan can assist in cooling the VXL-
3s in high current motor applications.
