Don't know all the science Steel...but it's due to the polymer that the Lipo is made of...it isn't a compressed composition like standard rechargeables...it's a plastic base...very similar to that of C4 ...reason if you abuse it...it will react... ....but you just can't beat them for performance...I used to be a skeptic ...now I'm a user ...relegate my stock and old NiHis to test when building...once the tank is up and running ..it's lipo all the way

Thanks - I'll look into that.

With Lipo's it's well worth fitting a warning buzzer as you can damage the cells if fully discharged. Similarly when charging make sure they're in a charger bag - google Lipo battery failures as there are a few videos on YouTube. I've not tried them in a tank (only got a tank last week) but there should be space in the battery compartment for the warning buzzer.

Nice one - I'm going to have to do something as I can't keep conking out on the battle field

OK...just my two cents on the warning buzzer...you'll never hear it if you are ten feet away from the tank

Check the buzzer - I use the ones designed for rc aircraft!

Has WiFi on it?...still no use to me lol... I don't use cell phones ...Steel probably does though

I do have an iphone - does it really work with that ?

No idea, but suspect you'd need to make one..... I just listen for the loud buzzing/chirping/screaming noise!

Sounds good to me Rob. I'll certainly consider one if the price is right, it can only help.
