I will never buy a Lipo sack. I understand what they are for, and why people need them. The thing is, if you pay attention and charge the batteries the way your are suppose to. You will never have the problem.

The link above, clearly a fire caused by the user. Why in world would you charge a lipo on NiMH mode and walk away? what the hell was he thinking? If you need to bring the pack back, STAY WITH IT!!!!

Most of the videos showing a Lipo fire are staged. They tell you they are because they want to show you want can happen if you screw up.

Fires in cars are because the pack gets punchered.


How many people here are seen a NiHM battery loose a cell? I saw one go at the track once. Poor guy was peaking his battery in his 10th buggy. Everyone was just sitting around and BOOOOOM. No more NiHM pack, no more car. 1 cell blowing took broke the chassis in multiple pieces, destroyed the ESC and damaged the case to the Receiver.
