BJoe Wrote:I was running my E-Revo on lunch tonight with a couple Trinity/Intellect IB4600 7 cell flat packs (TRI20165) in it. Just as I was about to bring it in I slid it to a stop in front of my Jeep and then hear a pop and see something come out of the right side of the truck with some force:confused: At first I thought the one of the right side tire's sidewall blew out until I came to my senses and remembered it's not possible on a foam supported tire and say the battery door on the other side of the Jeep about 16 FEET from the truck! I pulled the shell off so I could unplug the batteries and saw that the battery in the right side battery bay was out of the bay, nearly unplugged from the ESC, and the copper bars were bent nearly straight from a 90* bend! The compartment, front portion of the chassis, and servo in front of it are covered in black stuff, it nearly blew the front cooling duct off the chassis, launched the battery shell 34 FEET or so from the truck:eek: I took pics with my cell phone, but haven't had a chance to get them on line yet since I'm still at work. Needless to say I'm a just a wee bit unhappy and plan on calling Trinity tomorrow:mad:
So it looks like your batteries got a little hot then.

I'd inspect the other battery for thermal damage. You running the stock gearing? If so and everything on the truck is stock I'd either complain to Trinity, or Traxxas.
