I received the rest of my 5.5 bullets today. I should find the courage to start soldering very soon.

I put an OFNA rear wing on the ERBE because the Traxxas wing on my nitro Revo was broken so I needed another wing. The LHS had both the OFNA and TRAXXAS wings in stock so I went with the OFNA one because it just seems stronger. I put it on the ERBE and put the ERBE's TRAXXAS wing on the nitro Revo. I had a puffed Zippy in my battery box, it just puffed sitting there with the other lipos. I don't know what happened to it but both cells were badly puffed. So I unsoldered the connectors which I will keep and put the cells in the middle of the driveway and punctured both of them very hard with the tip of a long crowbar

There was some fizz with tiny sparks in the hole and a little smoke for 1 minute or two, then came the big puff of smoke, and I mean a lot of smoke and a lot of fizzing for about 20 seconds. But no flames at all. Then down to a little smoke and soft fizzing for 5 minutes and then nothing. I let it sit there for another hour to cool down and tossed the cells in the trash once I inspected the cells to make sure that they were all consumed. I should've made a vid. It was a cool experiment.
