I overshot a turn and cartwheeled. Not a real bad crash. The car ended up on its wheels, stopped, and billowing white smoke came out of it. Didn't see any flame.
20 guys stood there with their mouths hanging open watching it until I yelled to get it out of there.
Someone threw the car outside. I popped out the batt hold down and tossed the still smoking battery. Only car damage was some melting on the body, and a fried rx.
There was no obvious cause as to why the batt cooked. probably an internal short.
