I just had plugged it up. It didn't take it 30 seconds to blow up. This truck had to have some kind of defect or electrical problem.

Maybe packs jumpered together incorrectly?
Thats a bummer for sure!

 

[Tunedfrog]

Oh man that sucks.

If it happened right after you plugged up the two lipos then you did not have the jumper wired correctly.

I didn't solder anything lol I hooked up 2 batteries with deans t plugs and KABOOM damn why does everyone always assume user error. I even took the truck to hobby town where I bought it and they told me to send it back to team associated while it's under warranty I haven't had it 30 days.

True its not always the case, it could be a manufacturer defect, but statistically speaking its most issues of this nature are user error. We aint trying to be insulting, its just when your on a forum trying to help people remotely you tend to play the odds if you take my meaning.
