Hey all,
Bought a HPI Sprint 2 6 months ago, when i got it had a little go and put it away because the weather was crap.
Got it back out now, during the winter i bought some batteries. But now i've come to use it im not sure what im doing!
First off, i have a Novak GT7 ESC. I understand it controls the motor, but what i dont understand is all the profiles it has. Oval, stock, agressive etc. You can set your own but i dont have a clue what they really do. If i put it to aggressive will it put out full power as soon as i put the throttle down?
I bought 3 sets of GP 3700 single sells which have been soldered together (x3 6 batteries) by the previous user (To a high standard aswell). Will i be fine to use these once i solder on the correct wire and deans connection? (My charager and car use deans connection)
Lastly, how do you work out charge time? My charger goes from 0.5a to 5.5
Sorry for the questions, but i've been into nitro for years.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks, they have not been used inawhile so i was thinking of charging them on something low like 1a or 1.5 for 12-14 hours.
Interesting read that, glad i have a decent charger that has peak detection, heat stop etc
NIMHs don't really like to be trickle charged, so it may be better to cycle them a few times at normal rates. What charger do you have? Interesting read that, glad i have a decent charger that has peak detection, heat stop etc
LOL @ Oliver, have you found a new car yet?
