Recommended starting point
New to RC model building?
Start with the battery and delivery state. Once you understand LiPo basics, charger, ESC and RTF/PNP/ARF, choosing a model becomes much easier.
Knowledge that fits straight into the workshop
PICHLER RC Guide
Batteries, chargers, ESCs, model delivery states and LiPo safety: clearly explained, sorted for real-world use and linked directly to matching PICHLER product areas.

LiPo fire protection in model building
Charging place, storage, transport, suspicious batteries and suitable protection products.Safety
Safety is now built directly into the online guides.
The LiPo Guide and fire protection guide already cover the most important battery routines. More safety content such as preflight checks remains planned as dedicated guides.
Outlook
