Sounds like a personal problem, I have a E-rustler w/ velineon *use to be 5700 mamba* and even hitting 20' jumps I've never even come close to denting or having an issue w/ my maxamps lipos.. then again I am smart enough to secure them in the tray with a velcro strap that can take a beating LOL I have had a few speed run crashes that just about made me cry and my lipo's always came out fine.. teach him how to secure the batteries better and he can save some money
