Lipo issues
Went through about 8 charges today, no problems. I just went to run again and the car won't turn on. Put the lipo back in the charger and no light on the charger. Replaced the batteries in the charger, still no light. Left the lipo in the charger without the light on for about 15 minutes. Put the lipo back in the car and it still doesn't run. I noticed the small light on the bottom of the car blinks and it is very dim. What do you think guys? Do you think my lipo died. I am going try and pick up another lipo this week to start touble shooting.

When the small red LED on the bottom of the car is dim and blinks, that indicates a problem between the radio and the car. Since the LED did light up, power is getting from the battery to the car. Try rebinding and see what happens.

not that it was a battery issue but i'm buying an extra battery with each of my cars for just in case things like this.
fyi, the early kt-18's with mini-z had terrible problems with unbinding and unresponsive cars due to low voltage drops (there is much more on the issue posted on mini-zracer). this is why few use the kt-18 with mini-z's, there were enough problems reported with the kt-18 that most just bough the module.
