Hey Guys,
Was out running my ERevo today, enjoying the little warming trend when my heart skipped a beat for a second or two. Just about finished with a run, when my left side 7 cell pack exploded a cell. It sounded like a gun when off and it damn near blew the battery door right off. Thankfully it blew outside and out the battery door side. At least it did not blow into the truck, or up. I think the only thing it broke was the battery door. I can't see any other damage, although I have not looked extremely close up yet. I still need to clean off the black goo that is now all over the battery compartment and the inside of the lid. Do any of you guys know what could have caused this? The packs charged fine, and I was only charging them at 5 amps so I know I wasn't over charging them. They were ProMatch Racings unmatched 4600 7 cell NiMh packs. Here are some pictures.
