    Forum is up!

    Sorry guys, we've been having a lot of issues with our hosting provider lately. The forum was down for more than a day. Everything seems good now, but we're looking into what's going on with our servers.

    Forum back up!

    Sorry. Not sure what's going on with our hosting, but this is the second time we've had the site hard down for at least an hour in the past couple months. Going to look into it further to see what's going on. Everything should be good now though! Thanks, Mike

    Lipo Battery Basics from AMA

    I will charge 1S batteries out in the open as long as I'm around while they charge and I have a bag of sand and a fire extinguisher (for any secondary fires) nearby.

    Lipo Battery Basics from AMA

    I store in lipo-safe bags inside of ammo cans with vent holes drilled in the top. Since I store at storage voltage, I'm not too worried about it blowing the lid off if a battery does go off. I don't regularly charge in them any more though since no one can agree on whether or not the vent...

    Batteries and their storage

    I think maybe that TX started itself on fire because it didn't want to be purple with blue splatter any more :p

    Lipo Battery Basics from AMA

    I don't. I drop the charging battery into a cinder block with a bag of sand over it. If it burns, the bag will melt and the sand will smother the fire (theoretically). Lot's of different ways of making a battery bunker...

    First time Builder... serious help needed

    You should be good. It's just because it was within your first few posts and had multiple links. You didn't break any rules. The SPAM filter just flagged it for moderation since it had a few links in it. You should be good to go now since it was approved.

    Lipo Battery Safety... Should I quit the hobby before even getting started

    I'm also overly paranoid. It looks like you're already using a quality charger, which is important. Aside from that, here's what I do: 1. Always get rid of any battery that has visible damage and/or becomes puffed up. I take mine to a battery shop and they recycle them for me. 2. I charge...

    Range

    Phantom 4 or Mavic are under $1k and have a max tx distance in the miles. I believe 3 and 8 miles respectively.
