The way those lipo's kept on reigniting reminded me of those joke candles that you can never blow out because they keep re lighting 😂👍

[@paddymorgan2000]

Yeah, its a self sustaining fire, the chemical reaction of the lithium with the air will result in the lipos re igniting and burning until all of the lithium is used up, that's what makes a lithium fire so dangerous as once it starts its extremity difficult to stop it no matter what you do, basically it will just run its course until there is no material left to burn. Kevin did exactly the right thing, get it outside !!.

[@HolmesHobbies]

My thoughts on the cascade after thinking about how this went down. Ive had this failure on ebikes running bleeding edge motors. You were revving it in air, literally the worst thing possible for such a hot system on max voltage and a motor with insanely low resistance and high inductance. Dont do that with "insane" systems, its risky. Looks like the first fire was a capacitor explosion. An inductive spike couldn't be shunted by the battery since it was still freshly charged, and since you were running 8s it popped the caps after a hard rev. No overhead for voltage spikes when running 8s. Caps turned into molten metal and shorted inside the esc, battery catches 20 seconds later since the esc is now shorted. Next time run 6s and don't be revving in air like that.

I have a feeling this will catch the attention of Castle Creations. That needs to be addressed by them personally. They are very helpful. A guys at work spends hours on the phone discussing his builds and various issues. They always help, and replace anything that is their fault, for free. You have a big platform here. Please be in contact with them and let us see how that goes. I own a lot of their stuff. I am nervous now.

[@TK_Mo]

I'm a big fan of Castle Creations as well, particularly their ESC's. Though there is always potential that a bad ESC got into the mix. That said, I personally think this was caused by a short or problems outside of the ESC. Someone suggested that the motor caused the fire, IDK. I suspect that something shifted when he picked up the RC from the tail end and shorted out something. Things were awfully tight in that chassis. JMHO

[@andrewbrown8927]

Same thing happened to me and it’s been almost a year since they received it and have not got back with me.

My god kev, I remeber watching you not so long a go when you where at 200k subs you have grown quick👍

[@ntg4135]

Hey Kev! I think i know what happened with the ESC. Castle claims on their Website that the XLX 2 and Monster X 8s are made for a maximum voltage of 33,6V (4,2V/cell) and the ESC definitely will be damaged if you apply more Voltage, for example if you use LiHV batteries . So when you used your LiHV graphene batteries in the car you have damaged the ESC which then blowed up the batteries, which are nearly impossible to extinguish. Next time when a lithium battery catches fire, you should try to separate the battery and put it in a fire prove container with water where it can burn out. I would recommend you using normal Lipo batteries with 4,2V/cell next time, then everything should work perfectly. I hope i could help you. Go on with your amazing videos!
