If you also charge and store the batteries in a LiPo sack you should be very safe.

Seems to be the general consensus is to stick to hard case one so I will direct my purchase this way. I brought the LiPo versions but planned with a little conversion to run it on NiMh as I can't afford to repower my cars. I spend to much money on radio controlled yachts which makes cars look cheap as all the racing ones are basically custom products with the exception of the rclaser.
I am a bit surprised as I have been racing cars on and off for almost 20 years no real bad experiences with charging and only a few leaky old cells. Why I posted the link was because radio controlled yachts like planes use relatively low power and therefore almost everyone slow charges them with a very low ampage so to see a cell explode like this really never happen with NiMh.
