Those of you who know about 1/8 on road racing know how expensive these things are.

My friend crashed his Serpent Veteq 02, if you know about this car, it is better than the 950R, a few days ago, a ROLLING chasis went for $500 on ebay, note this car is 3 years old.

Anyways, he didnt put his antena all the way up and started to drive, he lost signal and the car went full speed for about 3 seconds which is more then enough to gain full speed before crashing.

He broke 2 inches off the front part of the chassis, cracked the fuel tank, broke 3 turnbuckles, and his bumper and front body mount.

Luckily he has a spare chassis NASA made for him, yes Nasa, along with the Veteq 01 2 piece chassis and a box full of extra parts.

Even though he wont have to buy any parts since he has them all, it still sucks.


So remember kids, put your antena all the way up.

damm the luck any way...good thing he has a new chassie....

Is it made from that black market alloy????
 
yea Bouzouki, you should buy a fail safe ($25). That prevents against radio signal loss. Then a throttle return spring ($2) to prevent low battery and wot runaway.

I only got a quick glance at it,

Its a gold color.
 
Luckily he races for TEAM NASA. I wonder how many tax dollars went into making this guy his chassis.
Did the stop making space shuttles one day and decide to make a serpent chassis?
Edit: My bad.
My friend, he was lying to you, or your lying to us.
I call:horsecrap on this.
In a normal situation I wouldn't say anything, but this is retarded.

Sorry buddy but he bought his car from a WORLD CLASS 1/8 scale on road professional driver.

The chassis is indeed made by nasa.

What black market chassis are you talking about?

Sure theres no way regular guys like you who arnt as serious into racing would get your hands on somthing like that.

Just so I get this strait, Did he have the martian chassis made for him, or was it made for the "world class proffesional"??

And I don't make assumtions on my driving skills.
I don't go bashing.

And yes I am cranky.

If your gonna come in here and start poop then get out.

And it was made for the driver.

Yes, you are.

I'm sure you would be some wimp if this convo was going on in person though.

I love internet forums.

Listen man, I am not trying to start any trouble.

This guy keeps attacking me.

If somone admits he is an ass, what more do I need to say?

When I get pics, i'm sure he will feel even more like an ass.



Now, why are you starting with me?

Thanks for the tip though, i'll make sure to take them tommarow.
