The pictures were of this burnt out car, you could make out the heli in the boot still, was horrible but that was a long time ago and tech has moved on since then, still, probably better to be safe than sorry eh !
OUCH!!!.
Yes i do agree. Safety comes first.I saw a Losi 8ight E on fire at Slough SRS race,not live someone took a picture and that scared me lol.
