Title: Mini giant damage report Post by: CLODGUY on May 17, 2008, 02:32:53 AM Well heres a new one ,,, during the freestyle , after going off off ryans huge jump,, my truck started stuttering, and finally stopped completely. After testing the radio, crystals, esc, and motor, I pulled the battery,, and was amazed to find broken completely in half.. it actually ripped the end of one cell almost off..
I have to admit ,, Ive broken a lot of things in my time,, but never destroyed a battery pack like that Freestyle rules Title: Re: Mini giant damage report Post by: briankstan on May 17, 2008, 10:19:53 AM good to hear it wasn't a serious problem.

Maybe it would be a good idea to brace or pack the battery tighter into the chassis to avoid any flopping about. Mine is pretty secure I think, but a check is definately in order.

I assembled a set of INTEGY high discharge 1400 mah cells, The truck is noticeably faster, and has a lot more torque,, so much in fact that I might remove 1 cell and save some weight
