Here are some photos of my Stampede VXL. The MaxAmps LiPo battery exploded in my Stampede VXL. MaxAmps.com said it was a short in the battery and did not replace my Stampede allthough they did replace the pack. I had to foot the bill for a new truck. It will be the last MaxAmps.com battery I will ever buy. As you can see it got pretty melted.

  • @lundells1 cant belive u got a hole new truck????? u do know a replacement chassis is only $6.49, $10 for a generic reciver & about $2 to fix the esc lead... Thats all under $20!!!! Hummmmm i dont think r/c cars are for you if u dont like replacing easy parts or taking them apart. Sorry to say it, but its a fact, rc cars brake. ive done more damage to mine in high speed crashes

  • that's why i buy NIMH...

  • esc not???????????

  • how did it happen

  • Looked to be ok. You could have replaced the chassis and receiver and whatever else got burnt. The esc and motor looked from what I saw.

  • Actually I don't think i'm going to consider buying a LiPo for my car after watching this

    watch?v=-DcpANRFrI4

  • traxxas lipos are great why not stay with them when u guys use traxxas models =) 2200mah 7.4v 25c and 11.1v 1400mah 25c fits great in 1/16's if not 6800mah's+ they even have a 12800mah 7.4v lipo..! fit good in anything else. 25c continual and 50C Burst. i had them for a few they are great!never did i pull them out of my car and they where hot.and they in the range of 30-50$ very decent

  • All u need is a new chassis and reciver then good to go

  • This is what happens when u abuse the power of lipos

  • i bet ur reciver stillwork though right?
