i am a subscriber to hobbykings news letter so i get a email telling me about all the new products and one is a 6000mah 2s lipo hardcase with a heat sink on it... what do u think of this...

i dont think a lipo will generate enough heat for a heat sink

i tape one to my coke so it stays colder longer

i dont get why the heatsink is on only one cell :/.... but anyways i strap more metal to the engine of my dirtbike to help cool that baby off!!!

I love the product description! It seems alittle pointless to me because my Turnigy hardcases never even get warm.

[dizzyinzo]

yeah i know what you mean... i had 2 of them and they didnt even heat up

If your lipo gets hot enough to warrant using a heatsink, then there is definitely something wrong with either your setup, the battery, or the battery doesn't supply enough power for your setup. My lipo batteries barely even get warm in my 8ight e.

Yeah Lipo's should never get more than warm. This is part of what makes them such good stores of energy. That hobbyking battery is a gimmick.

if your lipo is hot, throw it out!! it could explode and ruin your whole truck and electronics! it has happened to me before so i speak from experience
