    Has anyone here ever had a hobby grade rc truck with NiCd batteries completely obliterate itself at 50mph when it smashes a concrete culvert like I have? Batteries and 2 wheels were the only thing that survived. Rc trucks bash hard and get literally tortured and you rarely hear of battery failures, they are constantly beat on till they can't hold a charge. I had one LiPo battery catch fire due to a puncture during a top speed run where I lost control and hit metal post, and again, complete obliteration beyond repair.

    Batteries are more robust than you think, especially coming from an auto manufacturer where lives are literally at stake, and they could potentially lose more money than toyotas frame fiasco if lots of failures were to occur.

    I'm confident the batteries will be just fine, and no amount of offroading you do will even phase it in the slightest :thumbsup:

    I understand why people get charged up but its best to stay grounded in these situations.
