Help me compare lipo packs and understand...

yea if you got mikes new hardcase lipo then youd have a better lipo..... it alos makes a BIG differnce on how you broke in the 12t and do you use BUSHING lube, not bearing oil or lube but bushing specific lube, also spray the comm with motor spary as much as possible before and after every run it good, and if you want an even more advantage put a little dry ice on the motor about 3 mins before your race and itll just about freeze the motor and youd be amazed at how much faster an ice cold brushed motor runs..... that not a joke either the dry ice trick works wonders.

Thanks guys. My local hobby shop only had these packs and I wanted to support them. Oh well, it will make a good loaner/practice pack then. I will have to order Mike's pack.

I broke in the motor by putting some bushing drops on the bushings and running it in a break in stand for 3 minutes. Honestly my Ice has been set for so long I just push it and go about other tasks. One guy was telling me about water break in methods.

??????? are we talking about the same thing? im saying we used to put actaul dry ICE (that you get in blocks) on our brushed stock motors before a race, not a charger....

Sorry I meant my Duratrax Ice charger to break in electric motors. Speaking of dry ice, where do I get it and how do I handle it?

Back in the early 90's when i raced oval . We used to break in our motors under water or a motor break in solution with a slave motor . then we would use brake cleaner to dry out the motor .
