Default Burned my RCs

My generator caught on fire in my shop and caught my shop on fire. It was so hot it melted my bodies on the trucks and the trucks were blackened pretty good. Hopefully I can get them going. It looks like they are just black.

I got to paint my first body b/c of this. Just a simple paint job.

The building was not destoyed, but the insurance company decided to total it.  The nice thing is I have a buddy who builds very nice metal buildings.  I am going to have one of those built.  I will have to post some pics.  My wife has the camera with her tonight.  The pics are on the memory card in the camera.

In the end, I will have a lot nicer shop!!

It is good that you are looking on the positive side, and lucky you weren't hurt.

Thankfully you posted it was your generator, otherwise this place would be loaded with "LiPo fire this" and such. Sorry to hear about that, but good job keeping positive!!!
