Mine was similar to this crash: Except, it was done in an '85 Camaro.

A bit of clarification, i dont drive. We have drivers for the cars. A few years back, and, I'm not ashamed to admit this, i got extremely freaked out after a drag race crash, so, i refuse to drive even for testing.

I got my automotive start in the late seventies at around 6 getting tools for my dad who, at the time, owned a shop that built every type of dirt car you can think of. The first car I pulled an engine from by myself, I was 12, and it was a small block modified.

Yes, its a sprint car. The ones we run are called winged sprint cars, or, winged demons, because, this is what they actually look like when they are ready: The engines run on methanol. and are anywhere from 360-410 cubic inches, and, can easily hit the 900+HP mark. The 410 is the most popular...

I just made that commitment even larger, because i convinced my brother we need one of these:

What Yeti looking truck?

That sounds like what HSP designers did when they came up with the aluminum shock mounts. They are actually weaker than the plastic ones. I run my Hunter quite often at that park, and so far i have, in over a year, only blew a front bearing, and had the screws pull out of the front bumper...

My gf said nice truck (I'm not into rock crawlers but she is). As for not wanting to do that kind of stuff to my RC's, its more because of how much time the real cars take. During race season, we spend two days a week getting the cars ready for the weekend, and, even in the off season, we...

A couple guys i talked to did that, but, I'm actually not one to do much of that for RC stuff. I do it enough for the race cars, and our project cars. My RC cars are more of a, just put a battery in it and go type thing. I will do regular maintenance when i can, but thats about all i do.

Something i didnt even think about though. I'm not sure anyone even makes aftermarket parts for the DHK stuff, at least, not that i have ever found. This is the DHK Raz-R: If you look at the center diff, the two metal braces are attached to it by these brackets that screw onto the diff housing...

I run all my vehicles at that skate park at least once, but, no, I still don't see the need for aftermarket stuff, because, if it can't handle the skate park, I part it out and get something else. There should be video of the Hunter at the skate park on my YouTube.

I dont see the need to spend extra on aftermarket stuff simply because i dont break my stuff that often. In the last 6 months, i have broken the bulkhead on the Fury and the 22S once, blew a front bearing in a DHK hunter, the diff in my RE Pro2, the rear diff in the Granite (i still think that...

Well, I'm that one person then. I run my cars at a concrete skate park (my videos are on youtube), and i have never once bought a part from anyone but the manufacturer. I have vehicles from Arrma, Losi, Tamiya, DHK Hobby, ECX, IMEX, and Redcat, among others, and not once have i bought a part from...

That car is actually a combination of several cars, well, at least the body panels are. It started as a 1983 Monte Carlo LS, but, my brother has a knack for sourcing complete G-body cars for body panels, so, it has Monte Carlo doors and quarters, Buick fenders, and, dont ask me why, but a cut...

The first time i saw him race live was at Terre Haute, years ago. When they would come to Canandaigua N.Y. (Land Of Legends speedway), i got to talk to him a few times. He was a trip at times. You said, when they came through there. They dont run there anymore? The only racing i watch on TV...

Actually, not all RC's will do this, as most have a delay between forward and reverse, and, on a lot of them, you actually have to slide the throttle towards reverse twice before it will go into reverse, since, typically, if you are going forward and then try to go into reverse, the first time...

Now i see where the issue lies with this. Aftermarket means buying something from someone other than the manufacturer. If you get it from the company that made the vehicle, it is just a stock replacement part, not aftermarket. As for the Traxxas comments, find me one person who doesn't feel it is...

I just looked him up on FB. I know who he is now. The issue with me is that i dont pay as much attention to the drivers as i do the cars, and i have seen the #13 sunshine car a couple times at local tracks. The winged cars were at Canandaiqua a couple years ago, and my all time favorite drivers...

Its not hard to blow up a mod or a winged/outlaw car. Just dont put it in high gear, and stand on the gas. The motor will over rev, and boom. Dont ask me how i know that LOL. The name sounds familiar, but, i know so many drivers, its hard to keep up with all of them. I will have to ask TJ...

Tell some of the guys we race with that. There are a few that get into hoping to get rich, and do nothing but bitch and complain when they dont. My family has been racing since the 1950's, so we get it, but a lot dont. Some of us have made it big (i am related to the Bodine's by marriage), but...
