I love those spectacular crashes. If it wasn't for my dumbass camera, I would show'em off. I had the RC10 out and my friend has his T-maxx... I was at "almost" top speed and he was just switching to second gear.. He lost control, my front bumper hit his tire... The RC10 almost looked like an airplane.. I ripped his antenna tube right the freak off. :P When it hit I knew it was gonna break something. I tried my best to count, I got to 12 and it outran my brain :D I'd say a good 30 until that tree stopped it.

End result was... And I love it..

Both sides, both turnbuckle ends poped. Engine died (Stalled) Both rear camber adjustment turnbuckles poped. Lost both dogbones, foung after searching. And of course.. My already shortened antenna was shortend more. I had to replace a few things.. Rear A-Arm mounts stripped out. Bent one of the front nose brace tubes. Blew a bearing into a begillion pieces. Nice friggin` scratch clear down the RPM front bumper and the chassis..

I have something else to say.. Those duratrax diamond pattern 2.2 tires rock.

OHH one other thing broke... now I don't have a clue how.. My steering servo horn.. Though.. The servo and the servo saver are fine.. It broke my servo horn.. Hmm..

Great friggin` day. I got to take off from work, and get paid for it :D Ohh and we managed to get the cops called on us. Stupid lady down the street was afriad one of our trucks would hit into her new "goverment funded" (Cause I know she never had a job) Monte Carlo.

Great day of bashing altogether :)
 
Sounds like a good crash worthy of posting.

Don't forget: Good crash=Good excuse to upgrade!!
 
Crashes are great, but the worst part of a crash, or type of crash is a runaway car. Oohhmaagawd. Especially if there are kids around and parked cars too. Shhheesh. My heart stops until it crashes into something.

Once its done, I'm a little mad, but then I get to go to the hobby store and spend more money. Then I'm ok.

The best crashes are from big air, or you and a buddy crashing into eachother in the middle of a great race.

ahhhh, I want to get outside. Nice, sunny high 60 low 70 weather. Anyone headed to the rose bowl later on today?

It sounds like you need a Failsafe! It's probably one of the best investments I've made for the Maxx! No more runaways!!
 
Well.. My crash was fun :) I wish my digital camera wasn't so gay. :D
 
what does "aftermarket" mean? I've heard this said about computer parts too
 
Aftermarket means not made by the OEM or orignal equipment manuf parts by trinity and os and such is aftermarket
 
Aftermarket is the best thing! RPM makes some heavy duty stuff too.. My RPM A-arms have been through ALOT. They are garunteed also. I've bent two mounting pins with them, and still no broken A-Arms :) I will say, RPM does garuntee, and I know why. :)
