i saw a rustler vxl chassis, body and esc melt after a 4000mah 3s minamps lipo caught fire and the parts that didn't catch fire just melted. minamps replaced the pack only to have the replacement puff severely on the 2nd run and after unpuffing, catch fire while charging (in a lipo sack). the gearing was only 17/83 and the amp draw was very low.

They say a good mechanic only needs 2 tools - WD40 & Duct tape. If it moves, and its not supposed to, duct tape. If it doesn't move, and its supposed to, WD40.
