Now the lipos they use, someone told me they don't even switch batteries on a race day, I guess you can run then charge right away even if they are hot.
Brushless motors and lipos nowadays.

i can run about 35 minute off a lipo but i always switched them between races, charging a hot lipo is a no no as it ups the chance of it catching fire. im actually planning to go racing for the first time in 2yrs next month for my birthday, hopefully it doesnt take to much practice to shake the rust off.
