Default CAN A HIGH JUMP KILL YOUR BATTERIES?

Ramping about 10 ft high and almost 30 ft out with great landing and then I lose power, could the impact be killing my batteries, I know I need to get another stick pack as my first one melted on me during a charge, anyway I was just wondering if that happens or has happenede to anyone else using the double A's.......................?

If i were to jump 30ft in the air, the batteries would be the least of my worries... though, to answer your question, yes, it could jar them around and screw sumthin up.

Its the holder pack. For AA batts you have to use those holders which can flex. This means upon a high landing it can come loose. So simply squeeze the pack tight so all the contacts touch every battery again. For next time try zip-tying them or go and get a batt pack

round and round, revofamily I was just replying that he misread my quote, yes the LST is a tough beast once upgraded, could be your just repling because one spanked you in a race posted on here a while back, any way please just kill this thread as Yoclick was kind enough to answer gracefully,

LOL... see the ... ?? I was just screwing around... man, people on here are too serious. By the way... 2DMaxLST beat me because he is a better driver... not because the LST is a tougher truck... in the drag race, he was setup for acceleration, and I was setup for top speed... and I pulled away from him as soon as I hit second (which was later than it should have been, btw).... meaning, in all my truck was a faster truck... he has driving skills that I don't... he is a great driver, and the LST is a great truck... I was just razzing you.... actually, I was more razzing TheHamburglar than you... Perhaps you're just mad 'cause your LST can't take a 10' high jump without breaking... and my Revo can.... LOL... what a stupid comment.

What a lame thing to say! Oh well, as I like to say: Never argue with an idiot - no one else will know the difference.

Everyone chill! REVOFAMILY is only mucking about

We all know LST and Revo's are both great trucks *cough*LST IS BETTER*cough* [8D] I've got an LST but thinking of going for a revo next aswell. Not because one is better just each have thier own attributes and i feel the LST is designed for much rougher off-road tracks where its power can be seen but the Revo's speed and agility is shown on a shorter tighter off-road course.

Both V good trucks though! Hope your battery woes are solved dapicco

Yes, I'm just screwing around... LST guys seem so confident in their trucks... and you can't do a 10' jump without breaking... just thought it was funny.. Anyways, I'm like Yoclick... (just vice versa...) I plan on buying an LST.. after I do a few things (got a new house being built, and a new baby on the way.. gotta finance that before I can get another money pit) So, don't get me wrong... I was just jerkin' yer chain.
