where the carnage looks like it makes you want to cry only for the car to come out scotch free :)

on road hit a pot hole rotated a 900 then landed clipped a tire and did somersualts at least 5 feet in the air. landed top up and kept runnning.

only thing that happened was that the filter element popped out. but the inside of the carb looks clean. score!

all this was a case of the show offs :P

two 40+ guys were gawking at the car so i decided to full throttle it down the street(yeah... 18tz + narrow street + old tires = no no) at least i gave off a nice show :)
 
Its a nTC3. its normally fragile. i knicked a car tire once and it shattered the whole right front end.

and i hit my own foot today and it messed up the exhaust which i burned my thumb trying to fix.

then i did that and i was screaming NOOOOOOOOOOO when it happened..

i break it pretty often... but so far the stress from the .18 isnt affecting it. (to all those people who said it would)
 
Man, i had one of those crashes today. I'm new to Nitros so i was getting the feel for the throttle while drifting in the street when i got a sudden spike of traction and smashed into the lip on my driveway i was lets say...:OMG:, but when i got up on it, the only damage was a tire came unglued and shot down the street(i had fun looking for that one:hehe: ) and a steering linkage popped off. But otherwise it was fine. But glad to hear nothing was broken, cause I've seen things happen (such as your kick to the front end) and the whole car has damage. So let luck be with us.....
