Regarding the incidents, yes they do happen, more often to do with poor usage, but mostly, they have been used in 10th scale apps, not 8th.

Have you inspected a so called 'hardcase'??
can you give instances/occasions when a softcase lipo has EXPLODED,IMPLODED,SENT ITS SELF TO MARS via an impact??
FACT- a soft case lipo will vent far more efficiantly than a hardcase will (very important factor)
FACT- lipo's in general have got a 'wohhh hang on back off' reputation because of users charging them incorrectly, not from impact damage.
shame you were not at the last WRCA agm you could have put your point across.
there are very good quality, tested sof case lipos on the market now, i will agree 12-18 months ago the 'cheaper' lipos were a gamble but lets take advantage of a well priced product insted of basically being ripped off big time by certain manufacturers
if we do not give soft case (with a diy hardcase) a chance this year the 1/8th brushless class will not even get off the ground....end of.
