Since my battery has a balancer on it.. i've been charging it under balancer charge. which takes about 55mins to charge a 25c 2s 5000mah lipo

if i were to use a fast charge what would it not do?
i have a Hitec x1 charger

Thanks

Just got a used crawler king and I want to get rid of most of the stock components, there's just wayyy to much plastic for my taste. I'm going to upgrade the suspension and axles and I want to change the motor and transmission out. Looking for some advice, this is not only my first time with crawlers but electronic r/c as well. Any help is appreciated! ]]> Newbie General B-ham513 http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/newbie-general/449579-crawler-king-upgrades.html http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/newbie-general/449566-battery-s.html Mon, 17 Jun 2013 16:52:54 GMT Having just recently gotten back into the RC world, I've got some questions about batteries? What are lipo batteries? What are their advantages over NiMh (which I have a stack of still)? Should I switch over to them and would my old chargers work on lipo?

I don't see any markings on it.

Again I don't see any markings on the switch.I need to know this for the first time set up of ESC isn't it?Pls let me know about these queries. ]]> Newbie General Tread Well http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/newbie-general/449542-ae2-esc-receiver-wire-cable-polarity-ae2-esc-switch-position.html http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/newbie-general/449296-ax10-scoorpion-vs-wraith.html Sat, 15 Jun 2013 06:49:45 GMT What is a better overall platform for crawling specifically?
