Lipo Damage

[kalib]

Ok my son crashed his rustler brushless at high speed, he snapped the chassis in two! He also damaged the lipo, the front of it is crushed. Is it still ok to use this battery in my other vehicles?

It most likely needs to be discharged and discarded bud, that's a potential fire waiting to happen

Make sure that after you discharge the battery that you clip the connector off one wire at a time and then soak it in a salt water bath for about a week to make sure it's inert.
