I was thinking this the other day, have any RC lipos actually blown up at races yet?

not that i now, they only cose trouble when they are shorted out, or charging the lipo like me. lol

seen a nimh cell explode in a car, big bang andmade a really good mess of the car, also seen one explode in a fast electric boat, it split the hull on that one

Lipo's dont explode the polymer inside the cell burns very quickly and very powerfully. Dead shorting a battery pack will result in ALOT of current being drawn very very quickly. Far to much for the pack to handle resulting in the pack catching fire.

If you want to make a bang get a big capacitor and charge it then dead short it. If its a good one should make a nice bang.

Back in the days of Ni-cd batteries (circa late 80's) I set off a few battery packs accidentally like.
I didn't have a fast charger with timer on it (believe it or not) and kept forgetting to come back and take the battery off charge.
(it was a set of cables with clamps on one end and a tamiya plug on the other).

Cheap and nasty and those batteries went off, sprayed crap everywhere.

I was young ok.

The only certainty Ant is that if there is, it will be you that is standing there with a slightly confused look on your face, singed eyebrows wondering where the feck your pit table went. :lol:
