What I have found to be a good solution in the colder months when I want ot run is a couple of those hand warmer bags (the ones when you break the seal inside they heat up for an hour or 2.) I toss a couple of those in a small cooler and keep the lipos inside there untill I'm ready to use them.

I thought they would slow up when cold, and thanks for the cooler idea. I'll be using that idea this winter.
PS. I would really love to know (if somebody does) what is too cold for a lipo. That way I can leave them in my tent (protected of course) and not have to worry about warming them up until it is time to use them.
