RE: IM DONE
I have a prophet plus charger but it has 4-2-1 amp charge rates and I allways use 2 amps to charge my venom 3000's. I rebuilt my packs because I had problems with them false peaking or peaking late. Those packs are assembled very cheaply. They use like tinfoil instead of bars. I used deans - bars, noodle wire and plugs and they seem to be fine now. Allthough I only used them a couple times since I got my lipo's. Thats scary though since I have the same packs and charger. My charger must be a different model though, it doesn't say lcd or whatever. It is just the regular dynamite prophet plus. I would definately contact both venom and dynamite and let them know what happened.

I didn't know that. It's the first pack I've ever disassembled. I guess that's another reason to get side by side packs.

I never heard of a Nimh blowing up before. I have the same Venom 3000 pack, and never had an issue. I use a superbrain 820 to charge it.
Were you using a charger that was intended for nimh packs(?), because they peak differently than nicd.

Well... That was your first mistake!!!! instead of watching t.v you should have been paying attention to your batts. Batts just dont blow up all at once there are signs, one of them being swelling!!! Better be glad it wasnt lipo's because you wouldnt be posting any pics probably because you wouldnt have a house left.

I have been seeing more and more people charing their lipo's in an old 50 caliber ammo case packed with sand to cushion and explosion just in case

RE: IM DONE
one of my buddies was racing his crt 5 i the normal truggy class when a turn marshal threw a truggy on top of his crt 5. he was out of the race because it broke the a arm. But on his way home his truck caught on fire in the back of his truck. Apparently the truggy busted the receiver pack and it took a while for it to catch fire. It was a nimh too.
I wont get lipos just for the safety reasons. Maybe down the road when they get a little safer.
