|  Lipo and mud/deep water
So I haven't found much on this topic, but what does everyone do to protect the lipo for running deep water or mud... I've been running nimh for a while and had recently switched to a 2s.. I never gave it a thought with a nimh, but now I don't want a smoke show...

It can be submerged. I run my lipos in water occasionally, never had issues. Maybe don't run in saltwater.  |

I play full on submarine with mine. No prep work and no issues in several years now.

Ive been wondering the same thing. I have one soft case 3s pack that i use in my basher, and it has water under the outside layer. Didnt know if thats an issue or not.

Lipos are sealed because any moisture or oxygen will cause a smoke show. I wouldn't leave them submerged for long periods (corrosion) and put dielectric grease on the connectors but other than that have a ball. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk |

Makes sense.... What about the balence plug being loose... Just grease it and let it fly? | |

Yeap throw some dielectric on it just to keep it from corroding or other shit from getting in. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk |
