Don't let your friends drive your NTC3

[Nitroaddict]

Well - it happened......Let my friend drive my new NTC3 in the empty parking lot this afternoon at lunch, and he was able to find the one thing there to run into. GRRRR....He hit a big trailer at about 30mph and the car went underneath but it nailed the engine. Bent and scratched my cooling fins on my beautiful rossi and bent the frame at the engine mount so the gears are all stripped, the engine mounts broke, engine wont start, chassis is bent......and i have my first race this weekend......i guess the LHS will be getting to eat out on me this week...since he doesn't have any money to pay for the repairs. There is a lesson here........


take a deposit prior to handing over the transmitter....

:beard: Man this is one topic I know of all too well..... but "I'm" usually the guy who does the smashing. I can't tell you how many RCs I have to rebuild/replace over the years.

It usually happens like this.....I'm out bashing somewhere. One of my buddies gets a new ride and tries to kick my ass.... (they usually dont.)

I'll get all *very rooster like* (damn filters ) telling them to trade radios and I'll still kick their ass with their own machine. Then i wind up finding the one pothole, the cliff, the lone light pole, the moving trees, the one unpainted speed bump or the building .... that notorious building that preys on idiots like me and jumps in front of small moving objects that are going way faster than small moving objects ought to be going.

I feel your pain man

I have a computer radio, so whenever I let someone drive my car, i turn it down to about half throttle. Even then they seem to get in a pickle.

Only a few people I will let drive my car with full throttle.

BTW. I let my friend run my car, and I didn't change the batteries on the transmitter an the thing got out of range and went into a curb full throttle...it wasn't pretty...but that was with my OFNA nitro ob4

Sorry to hear about what happened and about your race. Things happen... I would never let anyone drive my car unless I know they have driven one before, these little toy can get dangerous. Note to everyone: If someone let you test or drive their car, you know not to full throttle it. Even if they let you, it's not your car, respect other peoples belonging, if you really want to, don't do it unless they are comfortable with it.

Don't let your friends drive your NTC3 ...
Thats RC rule number 1.

If they have one to give you when they trash yours thats another story.

my friends smashed up my supernitro pretty good too ... bastards .. at least now i get to upgrade things .... i came up with an idea though, I'm going to let them drive it, and charge them 1$ a crash , and if they break anything, they buy a new one .

 

[Rob D]

Needs to be like 10-15 a crash with a min deposit of 50$ b4 they can drive it

lol well my buddy wanted me to drive his new xxx-4 with a d5 10 turn motor in it, well i knew i would break this thing so "I" took the radio and turned the epa on the throttle down to 60 percent cause this thing is balls out fast
