I was setting up and fine tuning my Speed runner. What happened was a "brownout" caused it to take off across a parking lot, it hit a curb and then flipped into that tree. Actual cause of the fire was top brick shifting forward and puncturing on the top edge of the HR battery mount aluminum front stop guard. I've since modified the mount to handle side by side and beefed up the front and side guards with CF plating.Do you know why your lipo caught on fire? Looks like you were using GRP wheels .were you speed running?
Just trying to peice it out.your photos shows your rig on grass but your wheels don't match the terrain for them .if you tryed to use them wheels for off road then wouldn't that cause stress on the whole system which would over load the batt? Just a thought.id like to know.i do moderate speed runs and so far my lipos are ok .never even warm after 20 minutes of use and .I do a little street bashing and maybey 6 speed passes at 58 mph .I guess I'm lucky so far.but i do let it cool down before each pass
You also mentioned that having more than one lipo in a amo box doesn't mean they all will catch on fire if one starts to.yeah your right but at the same time common sense tells me the chances are a hell of a lot higher if you have more than one in there..makes sense to have one amo box per lipo.when I see a amo box full of lipos all's I see is a box full of dynamite.
Never mind the question on to how your lipo caught on fire..you mentioned it punctured a hole in it..maybey designing a aluminum battery box for them would protect them from that happening again
