Charging the kit RC18T cells

[Chrislong]

My RC18T has arrived today. This evening I will be chasing the dogs around the house til i wear the carpet out. :D

I want to charge the cells using my Eagle charger. What amp is recommended for the Kit cells? what Mv cut off?

Generally a fast charge is considered 1C where "C" is the cell capacity.

I would charge the kit cells at no more than 1.5amp with a low delta setting initially, and monitor the cell temp for the first few charges until you are happy.

I charged mine at 3.5amp at the weekend with a 4mv/cell cut off.
Was well quick and lasted ages until a jump went a bit wrong and bust an outdrive :D

been chasing dogs around for hours already, its awesome, dogs hate it.

How long do the gearboxes last? Ive already heard it slip a couple of times.

Charged at 2amps with a 4mv/cell cut off and it was fine, cells warm when charged and lasts a while.

I charge my KAN1050s at 2 amps and the KAN650s at 1 amp.

Much more and the poor little cells won't last too long!

(i know someone who accidentaly charged them at 6.5 amps and every single cell vented!)
