Status: offline 		I just got my order from Tower, All set-up and notice a loss of power right off the bat, land and dis-connect Li-poly battery. Check electrical and see a broken/frayed b+ wire from the split to the esc . Neg- side got burned Question is should i toss the lipo pack ? I haven't seen any smoke/balloning and am observing it currently.

Anyone ?, I have 2 packs and it happened to one..

Status: offline 		I bought them a while back from hong kong , it never swelled or showed signs of a problem.

I re-soldered my connections and all is good, just for kicks i tried the suspect lipo and it worked for 4-5 mins , i had about that left in the pack before i changed it.
I may trash it out of suspect..
