So, I relocated my battery tray, got it all ready to go, turned it on and drove it for a minute to check it out, worked great!
I shut it off to find a problem with my 4 wheel drive, and the batteries in the main tray exploded! The two in the second tray are just fine, nothing wrong with them..
What could have possibly gone wrong?
Edit: After further inspection, just one blew up..
It's the one farthest to the positive side. I was in such a hurry to get them out of there I didn't even pay attention.. should I even try using the other batteries?
I don't understand what could have went wrong, I wired it back together the way it's supposed to be.. my connectors aren't the best right now, I'm waiting to get a set of deans plugs.. maybe the connector hit the ground on the motor or something?
Edit: Yeah, I'm not really sure if my battery tray is just to messed up now, or if it fried the whole truck.. but I can't get it to do anything. :(
Edit again: It's the battery tray, the prong that the battery plugs into got very hot, warped itself outward far enough that it won't contact the battery.. crazy stuff.
Looks like I need a new batt. tray.
