This is for those out there whom may be more newbish than I, so hopefully they dont make the same mistakes
Great day outside, having a blast bashing after finally tuning her from her 6 month rest..
You think to yourself... "Pffft, this little plastic servo saver doesn't fit my new HIGH TORQUE servo.. ill just rig it!"
"And you know what, I'm going to run her with no lid to since it's not done drying and i wont be doing anything crazy..."
...15 minutes later
Branch on the ground catches the battery->receiver wire, shredding it in twain, as car barrels WOT towards a foresty area.. Luckily, no damage! Quick Fix.. just splice, tape, and wrap.
...25 minutes later
Flying through the grass at WOT, into a unseen rock, propelling the car 2-4 feet vertically in a spiral, causing car to land end over end and stunningly landing on all fours, still running! You give her gas to bring her in, realizing you have no steering control! pps:
Cost of a gear kit.... 3-10
Cost of new wires for battery.... 1-3
Packing up all your stuff cause you're a shortcut taking :loser:... Priceless
Today's Lesson.. ALWAYS USE YOUR SERVO SAVERS AND LIDS! :thankyou:
