Not a good day bashing at all.....

[Absolute RC noob]

So I have this wheelie bag I use to bring my rigs to the park for bashing, well today I loaded everything up to go bash with my younger brother and bad things happened. The bag has side pockets where I usually put the batteries in, well today for whatever reason that pocket decided to drag on the pavement...and I didn;'t notice. Well long story short the batteries dragged on the ground inside the pocket and the pavement wore enough material away to get to the batteries. They were ground just enough to catch one on fire, I managed to get it out to let it burn up on the sidewalk. So bummed out we kept going to the park (after I collected the charred remains) and when we got to the park I noticed the other battery that was in that pocket (i removed it after the first caught fire) had damage to the corner too and it was just enough to show the copper inside. So I wrapped it in tape and let it run one last time. I sent the noto on a good jump and she went a good 30 feet up and landed flatish but some on the nose. The car started acting weird and wouldn't roll easy. So I pulled the body off thinking a popped dog bone etc...nope the motor broke off at the front cap. Sheared 2 out of 3 screws on the end cap. And my front shock blew out the bottom cap. So needless to say I'm not happy and I will be looking for new batteries as I only have one left.

Ouch......
