Yep!

I got a Wraith 4 Link Skid Riser kit from DCW and got it installed just in time for our comp this past weekend.











This kit is good quality and very easy to install. The ability to adjust suspension geometry is quite nice! As you can see, I did take it off some sweet jumps and it handled them perfectly!

Yep.

I was getting it ready for my son to drive tomorrow. Put the pack on the charger. I plugged in the balancer tap and it gave an error. I tried a few times to plug in the balance tap without luck, so I figured I'd just not balance it. It charged completely. I noticed it was a little warm when I put it into the truck, but didn't think anything of it. Plugged it in and pulled the trigger and the battery started squealing and hissing. Unplugged the pack and stepped back. It exploded.

Most of the truck seems to be OK. The electronics bundle is toast and the chassis will need a few pieces replaced, but everything else seems fine.

My kid was scared and a little sad (about not getting to run it tomorrow)....but I hooked up the Sammy for him and he's all good. It was a good learning experience about fire for him.

Put them in a bucket, dumped salt on them, and filled with water. Let simmer for a few hours and BAM!
