Skeleton to a Basher

When those batteries melted down they were hissing and smoking. They were still VERY hot 10 minutes after the incident.
I was "told" the batteries must have shorted on the metal chassis even though they had battery wrap on them. I dont buy that story. I wasn't offered any help from the place I purchased them from either. I wont say who it was, but we all have purchased from em :010: Eventually, I was offered a replacement pack at cost and I was pleased with that resolution because NO help was offered from the original seller.
My max really tears it up. It sure is fun and at times frustrating building one up, but not even close to the frustration of nitro. Been there done that:035:

I've seen pics of several melted NiMH cells. Maybe the cell's shrinkwrap wore away where it was touching the other cell (from constant vibration) and ended up shorting?

Nice truck man! I can say that I never bought batts from them then if you got no assistance with that issue. Also, you may want to put some type of padding on the chassis or the batts, you may run it that problem again, fyi...
Again, nice truck! Love the body!
