Default RE: New Blade 450 3D up in smoke!!!


ORIGINAL: madmorgan

by the looks of the motor you had lipo to close to it, i caught 1 on my blade 400 luckily it only ruined 1 cell but it didnt go up. did you have a velcro strap around batt the will move around a bit if you dont use. sorry about your luck dude.
Yeah the velcro strap was in place. i am not positive if the lipo touched the battery or not i was just wondering if this could happend. not sure how to make sure the battery doesnt touch the motor without taping instead of the velcro cause even though i have it velcroed it can still slip i suppose. E-flight didnt even blink an eye about replacing this. i am telling you they sure made me a long term supporter of E-flight.
