Actually not at all. It was about ~120*, and the caps were the hottest part, at about ~135*. And the motor was around ~130*

Thanks guys!


I finally got my Protek LiPo back today. Alot sooner than I thought too.

Anyway, I had one of them on the balancer, and I didn't know what the balancer should be doing, like what lights should be on and all that, so I was telling Takedown on AIM what it was doing.... and he is like "Thats not good, thats an error, one of your cells is messed up....." Well I make a video, and show him..... and he goes "I forgot about the green light... watched the video, bad news...." and right then this horrible feeling of failure came over me, and then he comes back with "Its working " And then I was extremely happy yet I wanted to punch him in the face for scaring me and making me feel like a failed......


Anyway, thanks for your help Ryan, getting me to finally gone LiPo. I just have to get used to waiting for the packs to balance and the fact that it takes my charger FOREVER to do the voltage ramping or whatever it does for LiPo's. I come from all Ni-MH's so I am used to charge and run.

I will get a video of some speed runs with this monster tomorrow most likely.

No problem chris. That one error was an epic error by me. I completely forgot about the blinking green quick balance light. I thought you were talking about the error light.
