I had a rare warm day got the Infraction v1 out for 2x runs which was refreshing to say the least.
First set of batteries from China Hobby soft pack no issues. Second set my SMC 8000mah pack hard pack which I have had the longest but used in the Infraction only. When I hit LVC on the last run I opened the Infraction to find that one puffed as you can see by the pic. The label is holding it together. After reading the story about the battery fire from another member, I was afraid to drive it home with me or leave it there but I put it in the lipo pack alone and left the others out the bag...and kept it on the passenger floor where I could see it.
Really disappointed for the price I paid for this SMC and this is NOT a basher RC. Of course by the time I got it home, it is not swollen anymore...but the question is...can I trust it?
