    Wow sorry to hear that. But things happen. Drive a nail through it and get a new one. Nail for totally discharging it. Do it outside. Thats what I do to get rid of a lipo. I dont feel safe just throwing them out. Tom

I got mine there because over the years I've bought a lot of plane parts from them and they have always been fast on the shipping and great on customer service.

    FlyAway Phobia .... spoils the fun ...

    Read the manuals again, 3rd time. Watched the videos again, 3rd time. Maybe more, kinda lost track. Its becoming a little clearer.
