Damaged Lipo, How bad?

[lincpimp]

I have run worse...

Try to carefully smooth it out. It should be ok. After a couple of cycles you will see if it gets out of balance from the other cells. If not you are good to go...

As far as pack damage goes, I have some test packs that I am abusing that have had a variety of issues. Most are torn foil, and I am having decent success with sealing them back up and running them...

If you want to send it to me with the rest I can eyeball it.

As for pack supplies, suck as shrink, try cheapbatterypacks.com. All of my stuff comes from there.

Well the man has spoken. I'll smooth out the pack and give it a few easy cycles in the rustler then we'll see how the cells are. Thanks for all the responces. The people here at RCM really seem to have a great handle on the Brushless/ Lipo stuff.

No prob Brain! Hopefully some of the more experienced users know what they are talking about... I do wonder sometimes though... I think some people just talk (type?) out of their ass...

I have seen worse ran for sure. One guy had his pack bent in half because of how he mounted it (and crashed), then it got ran over by a car and flattened back out. And he ran it more.

But you won't catch me doing it. I am a weenie about lipos and always suggest caution.

Lipo weenie would be a bad nickname...
