Welcome back guys, today we will be testing how bulletproof my LiPos are. First up, .22. *bang* OH CRAP

I just sentenced eight lipos to death by stake through the heart, three of which produced a slight amount of magic smoke. They were all old worn out, and should have been disposed of a long time ago. I feel better knowing they are gone. They are currently sitting out in the rain just in case.

I've used the same process in the past. Or connect + to -
Of course it was done outside in sand, away from anything combustible or children and with the garden hose close by.

PSA. Do not attempt this at home. Do so at your own risk. I'm a professional idiot. These are not instructions. I take no responsibility for your actions.

I tried the @Doom! method with a nail gun set to automatic fire

Check out the custom balance ports!

It had already let the magic smoke out in my face so I guess it was done with the fun stuff. Bummer. I was all ready to capture a small show.
