So yesterday in our 4 wheel mod main, we had a mod truck running with us. About 3 minuets into the main, we heard something that sounded like a M80 going off in the building(indoor offroad track). Everyone stopped on the track and all we saw was the truck sitting in the middle of the track and smoking.
Looks like one of the cells did not vent and just exploded. The area where the 3rd cell was melted on the chassis and cracked it. The battery was brand new and it was the 4th run on it.. I guess they are going to try to get a hold of the manufacture to see what they can do about it..lol
Please excuse the crappy resolution on the pics, all I had was my camera phone, but it gets the point across
it did a little damage as you can see
