Well Wednesday 6-5-2013 was going good until around 3:30 ...I had just got done flying my r/c airplane , pulled in my driveway and put my battery from my plane on a charger that runs off the car battery, closed up the back hatch went inside got on the computer, when all the sudden i hear ppl yelling FIRE!! FIRE!! i run out to see my car with 5 foot flames coming out the windows i run in the house and grab a fire extinguisher, and hit it with all it had , by then you could hear the firetruck cumming they smashed the windows and put it out quick! ...the first pic is the whole car with broken windows , second is, the front seat, 3rd is , back seat, and 4th is were i had all my r/c gear and were it started.

Thank you for posting and so sorry about your vehicle. At least it wasn't your house. Best of luck with insurance.

Two interesting things in the pictures: first the seat fabric burned so quickly that the foam looks untouched. Second, that T-6 in the first pic isn't completely melted. Is Chinese plastic fire-proof?

Truly sorry about that bro

Could have been worse (house), but sucks just the same. Good luck with the insurance company x2

Sorry about your stuff, really scary to see!

On the upside, no children died and we all got a valuable reminder. Good luck x 3.

Your post got me to thinking about using an ammo box to charge batteries within. Anyone know what temp LiPos burn at? I'm wondering if I should line it with insulating material.

 

[FASTCRASHER]

That sounds like a good idea i bet i can find a ammo box on EBAY... what about using a lipo bag inside the box earth?

 

[earthsciteach]

That is a great idea!

Just ordered a 50 cal ammo box on EBAY for $19.00 that should do me good ! now i need new batterys and new raido!....and new car...lol

Cinderblock on top of a paver- cheaper and better

Cinerblock with a big ziplock bag of sand on top- this is the way to go
