Have you no brains?

i have brains, sickbrains but i have brains you? every race change your drive belt. lol

I think yours is slipping...

I was hoping it was going to set you on fire. That is the most stupid thing ive ever seen in my life. :mad::thumbdown::thumbdown::thumbdown::thumbdown:: thumbdown:

well makes sense to me, its only fast charging. we've all done it, or al nummies have done it :woot:

in my brains? yes it's slipping all my life. in my rc cars? no it's shaft driven

then you have seen nothing

in england?

WTF?

Common sense has left the building

LIPO madness, post your lipo fails and explosions here!
 

My LiPos don't explode or fail, because I treat them with respect and am sensible when using them

Good jet of flame on the second one though...

I love exploding things, and fires etc etc, who doesnt? but those gases/smoke are very poisonous dude

yes thanks, i'am feeling realy great now must have come from the lithium smoke.

If he wants to do it let him, if you dont want to dont, i was waiting for them to properly exploded ;)

now, what would of been funning, was the jump leads shorting out, and taking the 12v out, your hands, and maybe some of your hair too, now, that WOULD of been worth watching....

more to come, i have many old lipos left.

mmoooaky

mmookaaayyy

I see nothing wrong with blowing up old stuff you don't need - seems sensible to me to eek out that last drop of entertainment :thumbsup:
I wonder though if you dare do the same thing with a pack of IB4200 nimh cells and stand so close and film it?!!! now there's a real explosion!

i have a pack of 5 cells intelec 4200 laying around. what should i do with it?

Dude- get some safety goggles. At least.

very least.

okey thanks, i go to sleep now, if you have more advise or special comments like how to burn me self i will read it tomorow lol, i will keep your advise in mind cose i hate burnmarks on me skinn. thanks.

blow em up and get it on video, just be careful , you might not care but i am guessing your family does:woot:

okey

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:

PS. the vid in this thread reminds me of brainiac, only without the fit birds in lycra.

haven't seen any catch fire, but Mike Williams had one puff up like a cake in an oven on his pit table. Was funny seeing the panic in his tent as they quickly lobbed it in a bush!

thinks with fire/explosions are always funny when nobody is hurd.

never had a li-po failure yet, i have had 2 Reedy/sanyo 3300 cells spray there guts all over the work bench, only charging at 1C.

I enjoyed / was scared when he went back to test if it was hot / going to explode! :o:o:woot::woot:

i had some IB4200 go bang,i was selling them and took the pic for fleebay in the front room,i had finished putting eveything on and left averything in the front room,the next thing the kids started screeming and shouting the house is on fire,all 5 of them went running and screeming out the house,the eldest went back in to get the yongest,i went into the front room and it looked like i harria jumpjet was taking off next to the sofa,i was s**ting my pant,i had to get them out so opend the window just as they started to go off like handgranades,i got a jumper grabbed them and lobed what was left out the window,the rest of them went of like a fire cracker,the kids came screaming back in the house:woot:,it was a saddle pack and one of the kids had kicked it and it shorted out,we were very lucky,this all happend when the Miss went away for the weekend:woot::woot::woot:

Go

We had a set of IB4200 go off in the tent at one of the E.O.S
my old man sat next to the pack and just thought it was the can of coke i droped on the table hissing, it wasnt until the black crap started covering the pit table he thought about moving
