It is not a Li-po battery.
I charged the battery up, drove it around, and my brother jumped it down the stairs landing hard on the nose. I lifted the car up to check if anything was broke. Something started to smoke. It was smoking right at the plug of battery and the esc. The wires started melting down towards the batteries. I threw it in the snow, not knowing it was going to blow up. I went inside and about 1 minute later it exploded. Looked outside and there is a black spot where the battery was and no more battery.
What caused this?
