Make sure your outside and monitoring this at all times you never know what could happen. What type of battery are you trying to recover? What charger do you have? I have a onyx 235 idk if I had more settings than you but I know it has a lot lol if you need mine let me know.

I am trying to recover a 7.4 2 cell 5300 mili amp venom battery. I have a dynamite passport with self balancer and 1-5 amp charge.

What are your cell voltages? I say go ahead and charge them up till they are both at Atleast 3v then switch over to the lipo mode and finish it up. Make sure your keeping an eye on it as the cells may be damaged or may become damaged. There is a reason why the chargers are set to not charge the undervolted pack. I don't know if your charger has ni settings if it does give it a shot if not let me know we can get my charge set up and try it out. I have a multi meter if you need it but you should be able to get your cell voltages off of your charger. We should probably use the multi meter to see how accurate you charger is. Just make sure your charge it on the lowest current setting possible. Go slow and keep an eye on voltage.

[greggreg2011]

nice there anthony. so once i break down and get a new body and paint would you like to whip something up? i was really wanting airbrushed rocks and a few scalers on there with maybe lvsc bold on the roof with las vegas scale crawlers smaller print under it but maybe more of just a 2 tone maybe fade with advert on it.........now of course i wouldnt pay for the actual work into it and painting but id buy body n all,,,,,,figured that would be better then the packer team truck i was gunna paint

I waited over a year on that sin city rc stuff so started this. Not even interested in sin city rc anymore. I hit up everyone on nevada forums and lots moved or sold out. Steve said he was working on getting sin city back up annd running but that was a year ago. I think we have more people at our gtg than sin city had anyway.

you probably do, the best we ever did was 15guys for a 6 month comp season. but all we did was 2.2 competition, a lot of new guys would show up and never come back when they say that it took a $1200+ rig to even be competitive. ive got a 1.9 tuber left, wouldnt mind doing some fun crawlin with some new guys at calico or bootleg or something.

We have increased on our 2 comps and gtg are about an average of 17 with some notice but we have over 20 now. We are on an increase for sure.

damn the strictly competition side never got that kinda attendance. you guys suck, today i spent an hour or so in my garage digging up old/spare parts and bodies, wanting to build something. with what ive already got i could do it fairly cheap too. dammit...

[doublej]

told you it would happen diesel - it always sucks us in. For me this is my only way. I just don't have the money flow todo another 1:1 for now. Esp saying after competing i cant do a trail rig. it just doesn't stay fun for me. its balls to wall or nothing.

I came up with another promotion / club idea guys. How would yall like an embroidered club shirt. My mom has a fancy sewing machine that does it all. We did them in ENgland for our off road club and they came out really nice and were a huge hit. I wanna say they weren't more than 35 a piece. And that was a really nice mechanics shirt with club logo and your name. I would have to dig deeper to get hard numbers. But she is willing todo it. Im even gonna get some personal pit towels made up. These will be at cost, i am not trying to make money, a couple dollars to my mom to pay for supplies and time and thats it. Just something neat that will help promote and give us something sweet to wear.
Let me know what yall think and I can dig deeper - maybe start another thread to figure out the design.

sounds pretty sweet but id honestly hold off on that idea till theres a lil more people involved

[doublej]

it wont be cheaper with more or less shirts - we just did it to be cool. Hottest bowling team around!

[sisterfunk]

"Im even gonna get some personal pit towels made up."
