   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

That is amazing!! I've never broken a battery before either. 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 think this speaks highly about the truch itself an how indestructable these little suckers are, that your pack breaks before the truck lol.

Well,,, this finally gave me a chance to try something a little different.  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
