I think you'll find that this has been adequately demonstrated by several of the manufacturer's who sell such sacks.
Mark, who said you had to remove LiPos from cars or starter boxes? We are trying to contain the debris, so what's to stop you wrapping those LiPos in a way that will prevent the debris from being ejected? Isn't it the case that if a starter box is steel, and that the LiPo could be contained within its own box within the main box, also steel? And isn't it the case that the receiver LiPo could be contained in its own 'mini sack' within the receiver box?
If you'll forgive the pun, you guys need to accept that we have to do something, and start thinking outside the box!!! (groan!) The problem is to contain any debris, not get the LiPo into a sack when charging. Use your imagination. I wouldn't want to keep taking batteries in and out of sealed boxes every heat either, but that doesn't mean that I would ignore what is now a foreseeable risk. Put your rude typing fingers away and get out your brain!!! |
pete all starter boxes are full of holes some more than others, some have open bottoms and are a box in terms not structure.
most IC circuit cars do NOT have a box for the RX pack, infact most sit under the fuel tank and are a snug fit with no room to wrap them in anything.
so you would have to put the whole car in somthing, which is hardly convienient.
so on both cases no its not the case......
