I'd rather not deal with trying to modify/run a 5S pack on a Flux, its not specced for that type of wiring/Lipo.

Not to point out the obvious, but the lipo did puff. They only puff if they go way under voltage and have a large load placed on them, or they are over stressed past their capabilities.

And running in grass places more load than almost anything else (save maybe deep wet sand or mud).

As ML said, use a 3s and a 2s. Heavy trucks need more voltage dude, not talking out of my ass here (even though it would be cool if I could do that).

Jim Carey did that on that one movie.

I did that once on a dare.. was funny for a bit, then just made my tongue taste funny.

Grass is the worst you can put a pack thru. Lots of people think speed runs are really hard on batts, but they are relatively light duty unless the gearing is v. v. tall.
Hard to imagine it got fragged that easy, then again could be the way you drive it or a bad pack. Eagletrees are invaluable things, as are temp guns. Hot lipos are over worked lipos and soon to be dead lipos. Sry.
