Lutach is there anything I can do or should do help prevent the corrosion. Is it the chemistry of the lipos that cause this or would any smoke damage do it? Thanks.

Not much you can do, but check things over to make sure nothing has started to corrode yet. I don't know how it works out, but it's crazy science fiction stuff. For example, I've thrown away 4 buckets due to the metal handle corrosion. I did a few experiments with 2 awful lipos and other were just old, but still packet some energy as I didn't discharge them. I put a good show for my little brothers though. The first bucket was a mystery, but after the second one I knew exactly what caused it. There might be stuff that stops metal from corrosion, I think I saw something in Home Depot.
