Guys, always the back of the battery in the direction of the expected hardest hit. Mostly it's nose diving, so if possible always the back of the battery facing forward in the trucks. 👍
Yep i always put the wires facing the back for this very reason. Really think this pack just had a bad connection internally. Great customer service though with two replacement sent within 2 days
Omg I was freaking out when you were going for the battery in the X-Maxx as the smoke was getting intense!! Screaming NO NO NO NO!!! Glad to see everyone was ok but damn Dave that was dangerous. That could’ve went up at any time once the smoke started. Sometimes there’s very little time between the smoke and when the flames start and it’s only a matter of when usually. I’ve had 3 lipo fires while bashing and been around a few more unfortunately. Very scary when your trying to save the rc. Now we keep a fire extinguisher around at all times when bashing. 👊👊👍👍
I was freaking out as well, my pooper was going like you wouldn't believe, got them uplugged and thought oh good thats sorted it as the smoke died down, then it start up again, so went back in the get the damn thing out. Might look for a little extinguisher we can carry in our bash bag as that's a great idea
100% my view as well, can happen to any make or brand, hasnt stopped me using them as had them out again yesterday with no issues. Great customer service as well
That's a tough call hard to say if they aren't good. I know other batteries haven't done that to you but when you bash that can happen at anytime. Normal use probably be fine.
Im pretty sure we just had one faulty one which can happen, likely a bad connection / solder that came undone and shorted. used 4 at the weekend and no issues, also used a 3s version in the Granite heavy bashing and no issues.
When you are smashing lipos on jumps that hard you will occasionally set the odd pack off - thats to be expected. Doubt there was any fault with the lipo
In over 2 years of doing jumps like this and much higher never had a lipo go off, this was the packs very first use, so highly likely there was a fault in the pack, but that can happen to any make / brand, key is how they respond, CNHL sent two lipos to replace and i had them in 2 days, very good customer service and no issues with any of their other packs i have
Great video Dave. I think both you and I need tbe wide kit for tbe xmaxx lol. I’m happy to hear that they got new batteries out to you right away. I’m interested to see how the new ones perform? It is possible that the first one was an anomaly
Im really coming round to the widemax kit, thinking i need a second Xmaxx to fit it to as well 😂 i really think it was just unlucky bad solder or connection, used 4 of them yesterday with no issues.
The bash session was nice. What camera u using for those behind the shock view, I dig that… glad they took care of the batteries. I literally JUST 2 of their 2s for my drag slash
How did you mount the Go2 on the body and under chassis? Great footage and I also experienced CHNL great customer service. Got wrong size batteries and they sent me another 2 in correct size
Pretty sure they have a USA warehouse, they do different capacity ones - these are the 8,000mAh ones - chinahobbyline.com/shop/detail/Battery-4S(14.8V)/%E3%80%90Combo%E3%80%912packsCNHLRacingSeries8000MAH14.8V4S120CLipoBatteryHardCaseCarwithDeansPlug they come with Deans plus so you do have to change that
@@vitodambra72 Your welcome - keep an eye out for when they do deals, they may done a deal for New Years or right after Christmas - mine cost $220 for 4 of them so only $55 each
Think it was just one faulty one which can happen, used 4 of them yesterday with no issues, will keep using and we will soon find out if you see another smoking video 😂
I have a new pair of these that I used for the first time today in my infraction. I cycled them both on the bench and got 8000mah when new - two runs today and I have cycled them again and got 6500mah tonight. They don't punch as hard as my grapheme panthers which are only rated 75C Nuff said I reckon
Interesting on the lower capacity when cycled again - will try that myself. Graphene Panthers are some of the best lipos you can get - C rating on any pack is pretty much made up, the highest ever recorded real life C is 45
I will be using them a bit (and hard) if it stays dry over crimbo and do some more testing myself - I did cycle at 1c when new and got over 8000 repeatedly. The label on mine says "high power Batter"......... Reassuring
@@thefriendlygardener8408 Just looked and mine also say Batter 😂😂 has the same on the 2s and 3s ones i have - guess the marketing team messed up their spelling 😂😂
CNHL have shown time and time again that they're there to support the end user. I use Ovonic in nearly everything and are very happy with those. I'll try CNHL for my Felony next time I'm getting batteries. A Lot of speed run guys love them!!! Shame the X-maxx got a bit of melting action happening... doesn't look like too much damage hopefully. Looked like a fun day out with the usual suspects!! lol Gotta love Kev driving through a Lipo fire hahahaha
I really cant fault their customer service, i know a number of other brands that would have told me tuff. Pretty sure it was just a bad lipo, likely a bad solder that came lose on landing, ran 4 of them at the weekend with no issues. YUeah trust Kev to make the most of the fire for some footage 😂😂
Great vid Had my notorious and granite for a while now which have been great but iam ready for a 8s now X Maxx or outcast I am swaying to the x maxx to be honest What do u think 🤔 Cheers
I've got same dilemma. I was saving fir an Xmaxx but after seeing the issues that RCdude, Duperbash and ThunderRC have had, its kinda swayed me more toward a 8s Kraton or Outcast
@@cliffjones9922 i know what u mean But for me ive only got arrma so x maxx i think bang some ec5 connectors on it as the traxxas batteries and charger are a rip off and wait for the wide kit to come over to the uk
@@miketube6662 Sounds good. Won't be until summer that I get it. Just bought a 6s Kraton which is fantastic and really made me want go up to 1/5 scale 😀
@@cliffjones9922 nearly bought it last night with the light kit but i might hang on as they’ve brought a new max out so i wonder if a new x maxx might be on the cards next summer 🤔
In my opinion it would have to be the Xmaxx, it will take way more abuse than an Outcast and is way way way cheaper to fix. Now this opinion is based on hard bashing, if you are looking for more of a lower basher with good handling then the Outcast, although the new Widemaxx kit may change that
I'm guessing those batteries are not a sponsor. Glad you saved your Xmaxx. I immediately thought I'd never buy these after that but the customer service is lacking at a lot of company's these days so I'd say I'm still willing to try them based on your experience.
They were not sponsored, all paid for by me, but even if they were sponsored i would have still shown this content, i can only ever be honest on something. I do really think it was just an unlucky incident with a lose connection, i know others that use these same lipos, i have used them since and also the 3s version all with no issues. As you say customer service is lacking in a lot of companies, but CNHL came through great, and they dont even know i have a RUclips channel so no special treatment either
Nice smoke screen, Glad Tower Hobbies is taken care of the issue. Innovation RC uses those batteries all the time in his high-speed runs and has no issues. I was surprised to see those go up in smoke. If I had to guess why they failed, it might have been from the Hard-Core RC Bashing and hard landings. Just a guess.
It was direct from CNHL i bought them and they sorted me out 👍👍 was only about the 5th jump so not to bad, but i think it was just unlucky to have a faulty pack, likely a bad solder which came lose on the landing and shorted a cell, could see the shorting when we were tapping it on the ground
@@HardcoreRC I saw that there was clearly one cell on fire, and then obviously you guys let the other cells go up, to get rid of the danger factor. Glad everyone is safe, and your back to sending it. Looks like your XMAXZ received a little bit of burn from that hot fire.
@@airguns_rc YUes was just one cell that went, then we had to make sure the other cells had gone, then let it all cool down before disposing of safely. Brand new chassis took a little bit of melting, but nothing to bad once i have got the molten case off
Do you think it was a bad cell, or perhaps just a bashing accident with battery issue ?? Like anything man makes, we can make mistakes, ive hand built race engines in cars an motorcycles and sometimes one just goes bad because of an unfortunate issue with another minor part, but leads to total destruction of a 30k engine 🤦♂️ I've always been lucky with my customers who understand this and never blast me or yell its my fault as these silly things happen. As a business I stand over my work and a rebuild is free, I only ask that parts are paid for by customer at cost price.
Im pretty sure it was just a bad connection, as you say these things can happen on anything that is man made, the main thing is then how is it dealt with, and the customer service was fantastic. Sounds like you also understand customer service is key as well 👍👍 good your customers also understand faults can happen
@@HardcoreRC customer service is a lost art these days, all because many people try to abuse it. You got a replacement battery which is fantastic, but sending the extra one for good measure I'm sure really good along way for you dealing with them in the future bud 👍
@@evelghostrider Indeed, already have a good stock of their lipos and all have been really good thus far, but this sort of customer service will deffo make me buy more
I cannot drive 🧐 Well WE CAN SEE 🤣🤣🤣 🤗 Great 👍🏻 Customer service 👍🏻 I totally agree!!! Seems I need a new set of 4s for next year cause my 6750gensace getting kind of puffy- give cnhl a try 💥
LOL, i have my moments, but the boys drive far better 😂 apart from the faulty lipo i have been very impressed with the CNHL packs, and the customer service i can not fault at all
That was a hot bash there Dave, it's a shame that went up like that I had high hopes for them as I was goin to get them after u said they was cheap, top marks for the reply and how fast they sent out not one but two replacements for u, great video Dave 😉👍💪👊
It was very hot and my pooper was going i can tell you 😂😂 used 4 of them yesterday with no issues so really think i just had a dodge one, which can happen
I bought the red n white CHNL and they died after a about 5/6 outings Same thing with me with customer service they sent me out 4 of the ones u have even though I told them only 2 packs had died
Customer service has been great, bought these off the back of a lot of recommendation so hoping they are good, really think this one was just unlucky. Certainly had my fair share of big brand lipos die very early and been told tough luck - so good to see and hear about great customer service
@@HardcoreRC I found that the newer ones they sent have got loads of punch The only thing that I don’t understand (you might be able to help here?) is the gauge of the cable used My over lander packs are 50c 65c burst and use 10 awg cable but the CHNL with 120c 240c burst use 12awg which seems odd as surely more powerful packs should come with thicker cables to help keep the heat down What do you think 🤔 They are good though! I did buy some Zeee premium 120c 3s but run 2 packs in my car and found they get very hot I’ve tried the overland packs and although u can tell there not as powerful u can still drive hard but don’t get anywhere near as much heat in the packs. There only the £50 cheapo supersport too Please report in a video of how you get on and if the packs start to loose power too, I’d be really interested Cheers mate and keep up with the wicked videos! You guys deserve more subscribers
Lucky there dude that you managed to get it out before they went up, hopefully it was a 1 off occurrence and fairplay to them for sending you 2 new ones although it could of turned out much worse anyway merry Christmas to you and family bud and wishing you all the best in the new year 👍🤙👌
@@HardcoreRC Mine are the 5200mah red and white ones, I've got 2 3s and one 4s. I too bought them on recommendation and honestly I've been far more impressed with the similar priced yuwoo graphene packs.
@@DanjaBis Interesting - i do have one 6600 red and white one in 3s that we have used once in the Granite. I have these 8,000mah ones in 2s, 3s and 4s - some of the Drag guys use the 2s ones and they say some of the best packs, time will tell i guess
@@HardcoreRC They perform well even with the dropping capacity. It's just a bit annoying for the price they are. Might be a usage thing, I run them daily. 🤷♂
@@DanjaBis If using daily and they have a lot of cycles on them then they will lose capacity - just depends on how may cycles they have. Did you buy direct from CNHL, i know MIBI was selling them at quite a high price - i have been waiting for the deals CNHL do and then they work out super cheap.
to be fair, they were likely bouncing around taking hella hits from those hard landings. I'm kind of amazed they replaced it with the way they were beat around in that rig with those hard landings.
That's not being fair. That's speaking from obvious inexperience. If it was solely from bashing it, why did the other not go up in flames? That alone disproves you're theory. Or, then at the end of the video you clearly see only a single cell had the damage that caused the failure... That's how you know something went wrong in manufacturing. Maybe contaminated soldering failed on that one cell, after all, it was only that one cell that was arcing upon him immediately pulling it out.
First charge with very little use, these were not even big jumps, we have sent all our cars far harder than this and never had an issue. If i thought for one second i was at fault i would pay to replace, im not the sort of person that try's to blame something on someone else when i know its my fault. This was likely just a bad connection, likely from a bad solder which happens, you can see one cell arcing when we had pulled it out.
Thanks for the support - totally agree highly likely to be a bad solder which can happen, but these wee most certainly not big sends by any imagination 👍👍
@@captaincouldverc Landints are not jumps. Many of those were nose in, which will bounce the packs against the ends in the trays. its only a matter of time. Im not blaming anyone, just saying if you get punched in the eye enough, there's a good chance you'll end up with a black eye at some point. Don't care if you think its FAIR or not. It is what it is.
@@HBFTimmahh Ironic how you go from "to be far" to "I don't care if you think it's fair" immediately upon being presented with factual evidence. Also, by the way, you're still typing like you have have no actual experience in this hobby. Anybody in this hobby can sense lack of experience hastily, and the more you type, the more the stench of inexperience accumulates. Remember, these guys create content not only for entertainment, but also for education as well. And on that note, I hope you have a truly great day.
That was cool of them to send you 2 batteries I think that's fair because their faulty battery could have cost you over a thousand bucks if your XMAXX would have went up in smoke 🔥 I've seen a lot of other people use those but they don't bash much they mainly just do speed runs You might should try those out in the XMAXX so you can at least get them out faster than any other RC Good luck mate ✌️
Yes great customer service, had them in the Outcast 8s yesterday with no issues, will keep using them in the xmaxx and see how they go, but think it was just a faulty one, Also used the 3s version in our Granite for the concrete skate park bash, the one where the Granite chassis split in half with no issues
Thanks buddy, yep pretty sure it was just a bad connection on one of the tabs, these things happen, one of the side effects from putting something full of lithium in an RC car 😂😂
Man that sucks. Was that a hard cased lipo? I guess it doesn't matter. Yeah the abuse that we put these batteries through is just insane. Actually I'm surprised that lipos last throughout 30ft plus jumps constantly 🤣. It happens. I've yet to do that right there, but I have puffed plenty of batteries during bashing, especially when I drive constantly, which I try to avoid. Powerhobby batteries are expensive, but they have warrantied a couple of batteries for me with no questions asked. They come with a 6 month warranty.
It was a hardcase lipo yes and its very first use, so highly likely just a bad solder that came lose in the jumps, good that they replaced with 2 lipos within 2 days as well. This is the first lipo we have ever had go, but they are scary when they do go
Well you get what you pay for and what you paid you can only expect possible issues. Hopefully it was just a bad one👍 Great video though the xmax was going well up to the fire😂 You drive better than me one handed and trying to film must make it a right mare.
Yep really think it was just unlucky and had a bad connection which shorted on the landing - these thing can happen, key for me is the great customer service to be sent two as replacements within 2 days. Trying to hold the GoPro in one and and controller in the other and track the car isn't easy that's for sure 😂😂
Did a pretty solid job without the boys 😂😂 Clair said YOU can't drive compared to the boys 😱😂 wait what?? Too bad on the battery brother hopefully just a bad one. Great services though 😎👍 Bash on brother
Thanks Brother - i really cant drive as well as the boys on the big sends, the Xmaxx is very forgiving 😂😂 yeah pretty sure it was just a bad connection, these things happen
Everyone has there onw ideas on how to use there cars, we like to beat the snot out of them 😂😂 but at the end of the day it is what ever puts a smile on your face. I have subscribers that just build them and look at them, then enjoy watching others drive them on videos
@@HardcoreRC I can be rough myself, I do like em shiny and tuned also. I had freind use his xxmaxx once in my yard afterwards took home and completely disassemble to make look new again . Complained my yard got his 1500 xxmaxx dirty lol 😆
Think it was just a bad one, likely a bad solder that came lose, these things can happen. ran 4 of them at the weekend with no issues and also ran the 3s version with no issues
@@robertlongley9153 Thanks - it played up a bit today though, didnt want to charge which was a shame as was going to have it stuck to the TLR Typhon when we sent it, typical of course when i get home it charges straight away 😂😂
2 года назад+1
I want to know if anyone else has experience a situation like that but using Traxxas's batteries?...
I have seen quite a few lipos go up in cars, it can happen to any make or brand, have to remember these packs contain lithium and we are throwing them around like you wouldn't believe, im pretty sure it was just a bad solder on this one and it came lose on the landing and shorted the pack
@@stephenthorne9522 Yikes that sucks, was it the lipos or the XLX that went up ? only asking as have seen quite a few XLX go up in flames which isnt due to the lipos
@@HardcoreRC Yeah that was badass. Gave me inspiration to put one on my Mt410 and see if I can lose it! Lol How do you keep the tires from ballooning when you're on the throttle? It didn't look like you were holding back on the speed at all but your tires were solid the whole time.
@@ADITADDICTS I have the tires strapped using braided 100lb fishing line, but to be honest we have now lost a lot of air control, so thinking about unstrapping them.
@@HardcoreRC Ahhh yes good idea! But comes at a slight cost. I never would've made the connection bit now you mention it both my mt10 rival and teknomt410 tires Balloon like crazy, but, I can definitely control front and back flips much easier than my vortex. It's tires are hard a hell and maybe time to switch them out. Appreciate the info! Cheers
Very true, im super mixed on hardcase, certainly don't use them in the Kraton 6s cars, also find hardcase cases crack very often, but i do like Hardcase in the 3s cars that have a low support for the lipos, i killed a few soft cases in the MT10 from nose landings, hardcase would have been ok as they would have spread the load
@@HardcoreRC the thing is the lipo inside the hardcase is smashing into the case, the only difference is you don't see it getting smashed so it doesn't look as bad. I find the best way to save the packs fr as long as possible is to wrap the in padding like a yoga matt like rich duperbash.
Famous last words. "I'm gonna test these batteries to the death". Sorry your x-maxx caught fire man. I will not be buying those batteries. Be sure to send the company your footage coz I owe you some new parts at the very least
Indeed, was almost the death of the Xmaxx. To be fair it was likely just a faulty one, probably a bad solder, used 4 of them at the weekend without issues, also been using the 3s ones without issues. They did send out two lipos as replacement to the one that died, actual damage to the Xmaxx was very minimal, could have been worse though
Thanks, one of the dangers of running RC's and lipos, we got lucky in one regards that we got it out quick, in a different car needing to take clips off to get body and then straps off, could have been a whole lot different
You will be surprised that Kev actually does care, especially on that truck which he really likes, driving quickly over flames isnt going to harm anything, stopping in the flames would be a different story 😂😂
Pretty sure it was just one faulty one which can happen to any lipo, likely a bad solder which shorted when landing. ran 4 of them this weekend with no issues and also ran the 3s version ion the Granite with hard bashing and no issues. CNHL are known to be a good make that a lot of people recommend.
All lipos can be faulty, really think it was just a bad connection that shorted a fully charged pack, ran through 4 packs at the weekend with no issues They did send two out to replace the one
Im not so sure, they didn't know i had a RUclips channel as didn't tell them and just ordered and contacted under my normal name. Know others with no RUclips channel that have also had great customer service, sent wrong lipos for instance and told to keep the wrong ones sent and sent replacements.
@@HardcoreRC I guess that’s a fair comment it didn’t really strike me until you put it like that . I just assumed you used your YT channel as leverage , My Anxiety working overtime again 🤓
@@mark-1rc502 I tend to keep that i have a RUclips channel fairly quite, i dont really like going round asking for things, if they contact us then that's different.

@@HardcoreRC I guess so in reality you just a customer in the same way anyone else would be . People don’t like China getting good and cheap etc but with their prices and customer service you can’t wonder why they are doing well.

To be fair im pretty sure it was just a bad connection on one of the packs - these things can happen. Key is they sorted it out super quick and sent two replacements out that arrived within 2 days
Yhh look fire let's drive a nitro car over fire 🚒🔥 omm I think nitro is flammable liquid omm !? Idn let's test it... I just came back and lost my eye brows...............
How is this even related to it being a Traxxas ? it was the Lipo that caught fire so totally unrelated to the brand of RC. We have also found the Xmaxx to be the most durable RC we have out of quite a large fleet of cars
LOL, to be fair could happen with any lipo, whilst this is our first fire i have seen plenty others go up, key to me was the great customer service, sent two replacements out within 2 days
@@HardcoreRC that’s was hard to watch, immediately I was like run! The fumes!!!!!! Then I thought. Are they going to break out the hotdogs? But dope video, thanks..
This Brand is considered very good, its what most people use for speed running as they have some of the best cells available, also a lot of drone pilots use them again for their great cells, as you say pretty much all, if not all RC lipos are made in China. Really think it was just a bad connection which can happen to any make or lipo. Key is the customer service as i had two replacement within 2 days of contacting them

Something so right about Kev driving an RC through a lipo fire. Glad you got the battery out in time.
OI know, he apologised after doing it the first time, i just said go ahead its funny, have to make light and fun of situations are we would go mad 😂

I've got same dilemma. I was saving fir an Xmaxx but after seeing the issues that RCdude, Duperbash and ThunderRC have had, its kinda swayed me more toward a 8s Kraton or Outcast
@@cliffjones9922 i know what u mean
But for me ive only got arrma so x maxx i think bang some ec5 connectors on it as the traxxas batteries and charger are a rip off and wait for the wide kit to come over to the uk
@@miketube6662 Sounds good. Won't be until summer that I get it. Just bought a 6s Kraton which is fantastic and really made me want go up to 1/5 scale 😀
@@cliffjones9922 nearly bought it last night with the light kit but i might hang on as they’ve brought a new max out so i wonder if a new x maxx might be on the cards next summer 🤔
In my opinion it would have to be the Xmaxx, it will take way more abuse than an Outcast and is way way way cheaper to fix. Now this opinion is based on hard bashing, if you are looking for more of a lower basher with good handling then the Outcast, although the new Widemaxx kit may change that
I'm guessing those batteries are not a sponsor. Glad you saved your Xmaxx. I immediately thought I'd never buy these after that but the customer service is lacking at a lot of company's these days so I'd say I'm still willing to try them based on your experience.
They were not sponsored, all paid for by me, but even if they were sponsored i would have still shown this content, i can only ever be honest on something. I do really think it was just an unlucky incident with a lose connection, i know others that use these same lipos, i have used them since and also the 3s version all with no issues. As you say customer service is lacking in a lot of companies, but CNHL came through great, and they dont even know i have a RUclips channel so no special treatment either
@@HardcoreRC Well you got yourself a subscriber. Keep up the good work.
@@brandonthornborough4433 Many thanks for subscribing - have a great Christmas 👍👍
Nice smoke screen, Glad Tower Hobbies is taken care of the issue. Innovation RC uses those batteries all the time in his high-speed runs and has no issues. I was surprised to see those go up in smoke. If I had to guess why they failed, it might have been from the Hard-Core RC Bashing and hard landings. Just a guess.
It was direct from CNHL i bought them and they sorted me out 👍👍 was only about the 5th jump so not to bad, but i think it was just unlucky to have a faulty pack, likely a bad solder which came lose on the landing and shorted a cell, could see the shorting when we were tapping it on the ground
@@HardcoreRC I saw that there was clearly one cell on fire, and then obviously you guys let the other cells go up, to get rid of the danger factor. Glad everyone is safe, and your back to sending it. Looks like your XMAXZ received a little bit of burn from that hot fire.
@@airguns_rc YUes was just one cell that went, then we had to make sure the other cells had gone, then let it all cool down before disposing of safely.
Brand new chassis took a little bit of melting, but nothing to bad once i have got the molten case off
@@HardcoreRC as Kevin says. Finish it
That was crazy. Good job getting them out of there on time. Could have been a real mess. Glad they came through and replaced them no problem. =)
Thanks - so glad i could get them out quick, i was pooping it putting my hands in there that much i do know 😂😂😂
Do you think it was a bad cell, or perhaps just a bashing accident with battery issue ??
Like anything man makes, we can make mistakes, ive hand built race engines in cars an motorcycles and sometimes one just goes bad because of an unfortunate issue with another minor part, but leads to total destruction of a 30k engine 🤦♂️
I've always been lucky with my customers who understand this and never blast me or yell its my fault as these silly things happen.
As a business I stand over my work and a rebuild is free, I only ask that parts are paid for by customer at cost price.
Im pretty sure it was just a bad connection, as you say these things can happen on anything that is man made, the main thing is then how is it dealt with, and the customer service was fantastic.
Sounds like you also understand customer service is key as well 👍👍 good your customers also understand faults can happen
@@HardcoreRC customer service is a lost art these days, all because many people try to abuse it.
You got a replacement battery which is fantastic, but sending the extra one for good measure I'm sure really good along way for you dealing with them in the future bud 👍
@@evelghostrider Indeed, already have a good stock of their lipos and all have been really good thus far, but this sort of customer service will deffo make me buy more
Kev’s laugh at the camera 😂 lol 😂
That was a scary laugh 😂
I cannot drive 🧐
Well WE CAN SEE 🤣🤣🤣

Great 👍🏻 Customer service 👍🏻 I totally agree!!! Seems I need a new set of 4s for next year cause my 6750gensace getting kind of puffy- give cnhl a try 💥
LOL, i have my moments, but the boys drive far better 😂 apart from the faulty lipo i have been very impressed with the CNHL packs, and the customer service i can not fault at all

I got them battery’s but the 5600 mah keep my eye on mine now scared to use them
That was a hot bash there Dave, it's a shame that went up like that I had high hopes for them as I was goin to get them after u said they was cheap, top marks for the reply and how fast they sent out not one but two replacements for u, great video Dave 😉👍💪👊
It was very hot and my pooper was going i can tell you 😂😂 used 4 of them yesterday with no issues so really think i just had a dodge one, which can happen
@@HardcoreRC 🤞 they stay OK then 😉
i got 4 from them to ... also just bought them ... i hope they are good
Should be ok - i ran through 4 of them yesterday with no issues, just think i got unlucky with one
@@HardcoreRC great customer service from cnhl ....
I bought the red n white CHNL and they died after a about 5/6 outings
Same thing with me with customer service they sent me out 4 of the ones u have even though I told them only 2 packs had died
Customer service has been great, bought these off the back of a lot of recommendation so hoping they are good, really think this one was just unlucky.
Certainly had my fair share of big brand lipos die very early and been told tough luck - so good to see and hear about great customer service
@@HardcoreRC I found that the newer ones they sent have got loads of punch
The only thing that I don’t understand (you might be able to help here?) is the gauge of the cable used
My over lander packs are 50c 65c burst and use 10 awg cable but the CHNL with 120c 240c burst use 12awg which seems odd as surely more powerful packs should come with thicker cables to help keep the heat down
What do you think 🤔
They are good though! I did buy some Zeee premium 120c 3s but run 2 packs in my car and found they get very hot
I’ve tried the overland packs and although u can tell there not as powerful u can still drive hard but don’t get anywhere near as much heat in the packs. There only the £50 cheapo supersport too
Please report in a video of how you get on and if the packs start to loose power too, I’d be really interested
Cheers mate and keep up with the wicked videos! You guys deserve more subscribers
Lucky there dude that you managed to get it out before they went up, hopefully it was a 1 off occurrence and fairplay to them for sending you 2 new ones although it could of turned out much worse anyway merry Christmas to you and family bud and wishing you all the best in the new year 👍🤙👌
Thanks, im pretty sure it was just a one off. Merry Christmas to you and your family as well, hope you have a great one 👍👍
@@HardcoreRC cheers buddy 👍👌🤙
Kevin is hilarious! Great video guys!
Kev is a nutter 😂 only he would think about driving a car through the burning lipo 😂 thanks for watching
my CHNL batteries we're a bit disappointing, they lost capacity after 3 or so months.
Oh that sucks, i bought a load off others saying how good they were, got them all on black Friday deals. was it these ones ?
@@HardcoreRC Mine are the 5200mah red and white ones, I've got 2 3s and one 4s. I too bought them on recommendation and honestly I've been far more impressed with the similar priced yuwoo graphene packs.
@@DanjaBis Interesting - i do have one 6600 red and white one in 3s that we have used once in the Granite.
I have these 8,000mah ones in 2s, 3s and 4s - some of the Drag guys use the 2s ones and they say some of the best packs, time will tell i guess
@@HardcoreRC They perform well even with the dropping capacity. It's just a bit annoying for the price they are.
Might be a usage thing, I run them daily. 🤷♂
@@DanjaBis If using daily and they have a lot of cycles on them then they will lose capacity - just depends on how may cycles they have.
Did you buy direct from CNHL, i know MIBI was selling them at quite a high price - i have been waiting for the deals CNHL do and then they work out super cheap.
to be fair, they were likely bouncing around taking hella hits from those hard landings.
I'm kind of amazed they replaced it with the way they were beat around in that rig with those hard landings.
That's not being fair.
That's speaking from obvious inexperience.
If it was solely from bashing it, why did the other not go up in flames?
That alone disproves you're theory.
Or, then at the end of the video you clearly see only a single cell had the damage that caused the failure... That's how you know something went wrong in manufacturing. Maybe contaminated soldering failed on that one cell, after all, it was only that one cell that was arcing upon him immediately pulling it out.
First charge with very little use, these were not even big jumps, we have sent all our cars far harder than this and never had an issue. If i thought for one second i was at fault i would pay to replace, im not the sort of person that try's to blame something on someone else when i know its my fault.
This was likely just a bad connection, likely from a bad solder which happens, you can see one cell arcing when we had pulled it out.
Thanks for the support - totally agree highly likely to be a bad solder which can happen, but these wee most certainly not big sends by any imagination 👍👍
@@captaincouldverc Landints are not jumps. Many of those were nose in, which will bounce the packs against the ends in the trays. its only a matter of time.
Im not blaming anyone, just saying if you get punched in the eye enough, there's a good chance you'll end up with a black eye at some point.
Don't care if you think its FAIR or not. It is what it is.
@@HBFTimmahh
Ironic how you go from "to be far" to "I don't care if you think it's fair" immediately upon being presented with factual evidence.
Also, by the way, you're still typing like you have have no actual experience in this hobby. Anybody in this hobby can sense lack of experience hastily, and the more you type, the more the stench of inexperience accumulates. Remember, these guys create content not only for entertainment, but also for education as well.
And on that note, I hope you have a truly great day.
That was cool of them to send you 2 batteries I think that's fair because their faulty battery could have cost you over a thousand bucks if your XMAXX would have went up in smoke 🔥 I've seen a lot of other people use those but they don't bash much they mainly just do speed runs You might should try those out in the XMAXX so you can at least get them out faster than any other RC Good luck mate ✌️
Yes great customer service, had them in the Outcast 8s yesterday with no issues, will keep using them in the xmaxx and see how they go, but think it was just a faulty one, Also used the 3s version in our Granite for the concrete skate park bash, the one where the Granite chassis split in half with no issues
@@HardcoreRC Cool 🔥👍✌️
Hopefully it was just a bad cell and you have good luck with the replacements but nice driving and Dave!!
Thanks buddy, yep pretty sure it was just a bad connection on one of the tabs, these things happen, one of the side effects from putting something full of lithium in an RC car 😂😂
@@HardcoreRC Yeah you’re absolutely correct on that! Lol
Man that sucks. Was that a hard cased lipo? I guess it doesn't matter. Yeah the abuse that we put these batteries through is just insane. Actually I'm surprised that lipos last throughout 30ft plus jumps constantly 🤣. It happens. I've yet to do that right there, but I have puffed plenty of batteries during bashing, especially when I drive constantly, which I try to avoid. Powerhobby batteries are expensive, but they have warrantied a couple of batteries for me with no questions asked. They come with a 6 month warranty.
It was a hardcase lipo yes and its very first use, so highly likely just a bad solder that came lose in the jumps, good that they replaced with 2 lipos within 2 days as well.
This is the first lipo we have ever had go, but they are scary when they do go
Well you get what you pay for and what you paid you can only expect possible issues. Hopefully it was just a bad one👍
Great video though the xmax was going well up to the fire😂
You drive better than me one handed and trying to film must make it a right mare.
Yep really think it was just unlucky and had a bad connection which shorted on the landing - these thing can happen, key for me is the great customer service to be sent two as replacements within 2 days. Trying to hold the GoPro in one and and controller in the other and track the car isn't easy that's for sure 😂😂
merry christmas guys
Many thanks - Merry Christmas to you and your family as well 👍👍
Nice footage from under the x-maxx! Poor battery 😶
Thanks, new little camera we are using, seems to work really well
Did a pretty solid job without the boys 😂😂 Clair said YOU can't drive compared to the boys 😱😂 wait what??
Too bad on the battery brother hopefully just a bad one. Great services though 😎👍
Bash on brother
Thanks Brother - i really cant drive as well as the boys on the big sends, the Xmaxx is very forgiving 😂😂 yeah pretty sure it was just a bad connection, these things happen
2:27 me: press rewi-
Oh this isn't forza horizon 😂
LOL, yep no rewind here 😂😂 but oh boy would that be very handy to have
Good to see they sent replacements.
It was great customer service - two days after contacting them i had two new lipos 👍👍
We didn't have those kinds of problems back in the nitro days, Lol.
Very very true - just got our first petrol car - cant wit to get it out
Lithium polymer battery explode very easily be carefulness
They can do yes, needed to get it out the car though or bye bye £1,000 worth of RC
That's the same track Kev Talbot races at
It is the same track - Kev is in this very video 👍👍 you will also see me in his latest video and its me sitting on his SCX6 in that video
Hopefully that's just some bad luck with that lipo, also good to hear that they dealt with it so well!
Pretty sure it was bad luck which can and does happen, Customer service was excellent 👍

That was close Dave bloody scary . Saved the xmaxx . 👍🏻
Was very close indeed - my pooper was going having to put my hands in there i can tell you 😂

I want to know if anyone else has experience a situation like that but using Traxxas's batteries?...
I have seen quite a few lipos go up in cars, it can happen to any make or brand, have to remember these packs contain lithium and we are throwing them around like you wouldn't believe, im pretty sure it was just a bad solder on this one and it came lose on the landing and shorted the pack
@@HardcoreRC agreed!. Thnx!
Thats scary but great save of your truck and great customer service from cnhl looks like they fit x maxx no problem 😊
Was very scary - first lipos fire i have had, but great customer service, they are tight but do fit in the Xmaxx

@@HardcoreRC Yeah that was badass. Gave me inspiration to put one on my Mt410 and see if I can lose it! Lol
How do you keep the tires from ballooning when you're on the throttle? It didn't look like you were holding back on the speed at all but your tires were solid the whole time.
@@ADITADDICTS I have the tires strapped using braided 100lb fishing line, but to be honest we have now lost a lot of air control, so thinking about unstrapping them.
@@HardcoreRC Ahhh yes good idea! But comes at a slight cost. I never would've made the connection bit now you mention it both my mt10 rival and teknomt410 tires Balloon like crazy, but, I can definitely control front and back flips much easier than my vortex. It's tires are hard a hell and maybe time to switch them out. Appreciate the info! Cheers
@@ADITADDICTS Thats ok - the more a tire balloons the more air control you will have , badland are crazy for it.
There is a trade off
All these people who say buy hard case... Yeah it doesn't make any difference at all if shes going to blow the hard case isn't doing anything
Very true, im super mixed on hardcase, certainly don't use them in the Kraton 6s cars, also find hardcase cases crack very often, but i do like Hardcase in the 3s cars that have a low support for the lipos, i killed a few soft cases in the MT10 from nose landings, hardcase would have been ok as they would have spread the load
@@HardcoreRC the thing is the lipo inside the hardcase is smashing into the case, the only difference is you don't see it getting smashed so it doesn't look as bad. I find the best way to save the packs fr as long as possible is to wrap the in padding like a yoga matt like rich duperbash.
@@LawrenceTimme true, i have wrapped some of my 3s ones in heavy duty heat shrink
Famous last words. "I'm gonna test these batteries to the death".
Sorry your x-maxx caught fire man. I will not be buying those batteries. Be sure to send the company your footage coz I owe you some new parts at the very least
Indeed, was almost the death of the Xmaxx. To be fair it was likely just a faulty one, probably a bad solder, used 4 of them at the weekend without issues, also been using the 3s ones without issues. They did send out two lipos as replacement to the one that died, actual damage to the Xmaxx was very minimal, could have been worse though
Carefully I mean
Ah bud I hate to see things like this happening

Pretty sure it was just one faulty one which can happen to any lipo, likely a bad solder which shorted when landing. ran 4 of them this weekend with no issues and also ran the 3s version ion the Granite with hard bashing and no issues.
CNHL are known to be a good make that a lot of people recommend.
Replacement.? wouldn't trust them now.!!

THAT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU BUY CHEAP BATTERIES 🙄🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
Not cheap though, same make as a lot of speed runners and drone pilots use, recognised as a very good make
It's a Traxxas. What? Do you expect reliability or durability? Even WL Toys make more reliable RC cars.
How is this even related to it being a Traxxas ? it was the Lipo that caught fire so totally unrelated to the brand of RC. We have also found the Xmaxx to be the most durable RC we have out of quite a large fleet of cars
Mmm that was like exploded lipo asmr when u we’re stepping on it
