I walk to and drive my rc often in a place I live really close to. They always have a digger with a bucket parked next to the garage, so I figured I'd try a crazy jump inside of it- probably not a good idea in and of itself. Anyway, in goes the vorteks and it flips onto its back, laying inside the metal scoop. The fans turn off and it starts making a sparking noise which sounds exactly like an electrical fire. I couldn't even tell the difference if you paired this sound against a real electrical fire! Anyway, I built up the courage and flipped it and took it out of the metal scoop (an electric fire is not going to stop me from saving that thing!) and the fans turned back on and everything seemed to be all set. I turned it off and on again, unplugged the battery etc but everything seemed good and was functional- thankfully! Don't think horizon hobby would replace an RC that had gone up in flames!
While this is just a funny story, I do wonder if any of you know why that happened...
Glitch
Edit: this makes it seem like the rc caught on fire, disclaimer it did not everything is all set
