Good as new.

But if you have a exposed connecter and it touches something metal oh yea fireworks !


Teammoose: I agree hell even a guy i race with had his lipos puff up on him more than once he just let them sit and cool down and charge them back up and it was fine.

I dont remmend that though to anybody hes crazy lol.

Yeah I have 2 puffed ones that I still run and then one that the balance wires touched the positive wire and smoked that I cut off the balance wires and still use. I do have a lipo bag I use for charging 50% of the time. I only charge at 1c though all the time.
