Grrrrrr, still haven't recieved an e-mail:mad:
That's what I think too Tex, seems like when ever I hear of batteries failing like this one did, hte only other thing all incidents have in common is that the battries are Intellect brand cells being assembled by a variety of companies, mine being a Trinity pack, one posted on RCCrawler was assembled by by a place called (and I'm not making this up!) Boom Boom Batteries, and just recently a kid on the Traxxas forum had an Integy assembled 7 cell pack let loose in the same manner completely unplugged from the truck and charger for 4 hours!

Sounds like a bad batt pack. Trinity's problem not Traxxas.
