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.
1-888-TRAXXAS
Temperature sensor
To accurately monitor motor temperature and
prevent overheating, a telemetry temperature
sensor (part #6521) 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.
