OK I have a few lipo packs that have some places where the shrink wrap has worn through but there is no damage to the batteries. They still charge and perform great. After spending some time searching I have found a TON of info on lipos but nothing on recovering the packs or repairing cosmetic damage. I'm just wondering what everybody is using.

Thanks ahead of time.

We have a local comp requirement to only run hardcase lipos.

Softcase lipo + .060 styrene + CA + a little bit of bench time = hardcase lipo.

I actually saw where this was mentioned before. It is a good idea. I think since I have some lexan all ready on hand I am going to copy Duuude and just shape a piece to go over the battery under the velcro strap.

go to the tape isle at the hardware store and get some filiment tape that people use for packaging...great for protecting lipo packs...it some tough stuff too.
