I have my theory's about what caused this, but I can only guess and don't want this to happen to any of my new batteries. I have a few different types of plug in type 2S Lipo's for my SC10 4x4. I run one type (MaxAmps) that has internal connections and also a 150C rating and it never melted. All of my race packs are no less than 60C rated. Still not 100% positive why this is happening. I do know this is getting expensive, and if I ran it any longer it quite could have caught fire and did huge $$$ damage. I want to avoid that.


I was using "bird cage" plugs. I think that might have been a reason.


I am using these now:


I also turned down my current limiter to 80% on my RX8.


Anyone know about this and a cure would be appreciated.
