This was the 40C 4000mah 3S...
It didn't like running in my Slash 4x4 so much...

NO Way Dude!
There's like 2 cells puffed there! You must have been pulling more than 160 amps continously in your 1/10 scale!  How old is this pack? How many cycles did you squeeze out of it? |

Pack was from about Oct last year IIRC - Its had maybe 10-15 cycles because of winter...
Sucks a lot as local track demands hardcase and these looked nice for 3s... Sent an email into Maxamps - Will see what I get back... But the pack is now in a bucket of water for a few days... |

You must have been drawing over 10C on the maxcraps?!
 Go grab a TP 45C 3s hardcase pack if you can. |

It looks like that one cell had a blow out.
Was there smoke? |

Wait! There's good new! I just visited the website!
There's a light at the end of this tunnel. They probably won't be able to warranty that pack or anything, BUT........ You can buy a NEW one for $175 dollars plus shipping. But WAIT!!.............There's more good news! These NEW packs are 70C!!!!! *Cough- Cough* |

Talking about product quality. The most I have ever poofed was a single cell in a 4s zippy pack, and it didn't poof to that size. Thats pretty cool actually, sure glad they give their warranties out for free now.

Doesn't surprise me to see this, sorry for your $$ loss.
If they send you a new one, sell it and buy something else ! |

This is madness... can someone skilled in the art PC-foo please take down the nitrokillers forum & MA website, and put up a warning NOT to buy their junk lipos? Make sure you post those pictures & your non-demanding setup over there too dude, let the fanboys know what they've got themselves into...
