As we speak, my friend and his family nearly ended in tragedy due to a exploding LIPO battery in his car while he was driving.
The explosion measure about 8 feet into the air and virtually burn his car to the ground. However in the nick of time he manage to save himself and his family to avoid such tragedy cause by LIPO battery.
I will update more information including photos to his situation.
At the moment, I have sent numerous emails to ROAR, FAMAR, IFMAR, FEMCA and EFRA to call on the BAN and seriously investigate the sanction and should LIPO battery be allow in any form of RC racing.

Long time no see Danny.
Thanks for the safety warning.
Do kindly share with us the findings of the investigation.
I find this topic most interesting.
Hope your friend caught the 8ft explosion on video!
Looking forward to your updates.
Just becareful....................it can be a very tragic thing if shit happens.
We do travel a lot on planes for RC Racing...................pack it safely.............this is a very serious accident which may one day happen to me and all of you out there.
Thx for the info but I doubt roar, femca & etc will ban it.
aiyoh nobody's flaming anyone lah. awareness.
superek4,
forget about the ban............in the event of fire..........fire brigade and police are involved. forensics/investigations are involved. if the findings are not in favour............
then, company and those involved might be a law suit should those concern brings it to court. there's a possibility here and not so negligence if that's not the case and if the battery is faulty.
if the incident is in spore..............then it will be a bigger case..............as authorities there have the highest standard of urgency in this case.
Also, I've had a friend whose xxx brand car burned and total loss in 6 minutes. Newspaper first page headliners about 8 years ago. They didn't ban cars after that.
I suppose what is in line, is to sanction measures to make usage safer, like for example, non combustible hard cases.

Aiyah didn't know the wire bared somewhere & short-circuited mah. KNN with my flower-eyes was holding the burning hot pack with a plier close up 2 c where shorted & it blew up rite in my face but luckily all the content were blasted away fm my face. All the 5 pcs batteries were totally emptied of their content leaving an empty crushed shell. Carbon & fiber were all over my whole kitchen wall & floor.
Anyway now I running 2 packs done in same way harmlessly leh ! Just hv 2 b careful when working with such high ampere rechargeable battery pack. Wonder Max-racing got battery pack 2 sponsor ??

Danny boss, it was lucky nothing have happen to him; if not he'll be going to a range now (shooting) instead of going to a track...
Cause he no longer need to close one eye to aim, just 'look' at the bull's eye and shoot that's all...
