nimh should not be discharged otherwise the battery lifespan (number of recharge cycles) will reduce
discharging is for nicd

hehe..I discharge coz I won't be using for some time after this....gonna b using normal alkaline to push the moto performance

thanks for the advice anyway

just to share some Nimh tips that I read some time ago

So how should you actually handle your NiMH batteries?
Past all the confusion, there is some very solid, consistent advice about getting the most out of your batteries.

1. Be prepared to replace them, eventually. NiMH batteries don’t last forever, and though time and use they will stop working. Thank them for saving you money, recycle them, and move on.

2. Buy a good charger. You don’t have to spend a fortune on the best charger available, but make sure you get a “smart” charger, one that electronically monitors the recharge process and prevents overcharging. Not only is it better for the batteries, it will use less power than cheap chargers, which often rely on a simple timer mechanism.

3. Remove the batteries when the recharge is complete. Unnecessary time on the charger means more “trickle” power is used to keep them charged—so more wear and tear and more wasted power.

4. Don’t regularly discharge your batteries completely in an attempt to make them last longer. Despite all the advice to the contrary, complete discharge can actually shorten their lifespan.

5. Store your NiMH batteries at room temperature in a dry location. Excessive heat can definitely damage your batteries and cause them to lose charge faster.

6. Consider using low self-discharge battery model. Eneloop is the best known brand of these batteries, which unlike most NiMH cells don’t lose power as quickly when sitting on a shelf. If your rechargeables are ready to go, you’re less likely to fall back on the throwaways.

not really sweat.gif ...with mach dash, speed was ok but my SII with sprint moto is faster

for this MS, I drill new holes for front HG n manage to push the front 13mm roller further back to put my front damper nicely there (if not sangkut)

having wing to install middle damper also kinda work well for this...manage to complete the current TU semi track last nite

i accidently broke my powerdash engine yesterday.
i was cleaning it, then warm it up.. while the engine running, i wanted to drip the oil in side and walaa.
straight away spoil the engine ;( as my syringe edge got in contact with the engine -.-'
oh btw, whats ur method in breakin?
*
I copypasta the process I posted last month:

So to share, let start with the tools/items required:

1) New motos (I breaked in Mach Dash Pro, Power Dash n Sprint Dash)
2) A piece of cloth
3) Singer Oil (Muchmore moto oil for me doesn't really do the job, may b lain tgn lain gaya)
4) NITRO BUSTER (u can use SC99 n etc, but by using NITRO BUSTER, ur moto is well maintained..in a way)

Reminder to all racer which decide to use NITRO BUSTER 600ml, price range is roughly around 25 - 28 inggit (below 30) only, I bought mine at RC shop in OU (thanks to TOA CHENG for introducing it to me) but my frenz accidentally bought it at 49 inggit (malas nk mention kedai), so plz b careful !!

Now, let the break in process begin:

1) First, using 2 bateries, let the moto run until it's hot (how long usually depend on the moto)

2) Once hot, take that moto and spray the inner part (via top n bottom holes of the moto) to wash/clean away the carbon wastage using NITRO BUSTER and cloth (u will see black-shinny-dirty-tiny metal stuffs coming out from ur moto)

3) Next, once u feel that the inner part is nicely cleaned, apply little SINGER OIL to the moto (at the shaft-meeting point to the moto body), then use NYET NYET (4 bateries holder) to pump the moto (during this process, u need to check how the moto accelarate, make sure that while moto is running, no waving sound. Then, when u pump it longer, screaming-like sound is achieved )

4) if u feel the sound made by ur moto is still rough n wavy, redo the whole process.

5) So final result should have this criterias- make sure waving sound is gone, less vibration n screaming sound achieved. Like mine, when I put the break-in moto back in my car, the different was huge !!
Just to share my way of break-in motos (which works 4 me).
Eventually, everybody has their own method/style/skill (aku dgr siap ada org pakai IMAX tuk break in moto ) but all is done to achieve the same goal

HAPPY BREAK-IN
