RC Driving Style
I was out running my GT in front of my house today after a gear change that I made today 67 spur to a 61,Wow what a differance it made in the top end!!! I also found out that is very hard to stear while Full Throtle :hammer:
I was making a pass with the truck and it started to wheel stand,and before I could lift it drifted towards the ditch it hit a the concrete culvert pipe that runs under my driveway. Look at the results :hammer:


P.S. Is it posible to make this the Official Carnage Thread???
 
Nice wreck!!
A shame, but a good one.

Have fun with the rebuild.

Did you bend the chassis too?
 
Yes i did do in the chassis!!!! Even broke the tuned pipe wire holder.The body post falls about 3/4 of a inch short of the holes on the body.I just bought a spare about 2 weeks ago on ebay for $10.50 NEW
 
when the chassie is wrecked you know it was a good wreck. little tip in you rebuild get RPM Arms
 
That is one bad wreck!! I would do like Tarant suggested and get your self some Rpm a-arms. But even in a crash that hard they probally would have snapped, but at least you could get them replaced for free :) Good luck with the rebuild
 
I thought it was serious when i picked it up and fuel was running out :shrug:
Then I removed the body and seen the fuel tank split too.Yes I plan on RPM'n everything I can
 
I have had some really bad crashes with my rc10 and havent broken anything yet that is and it does have the Rpm front arms. So I can imagine how hard it must have hit to do that much damage. The only thing so far, knock on wood is my battery pack fell out while flipping through the air and my truck took of hit a curb and hit a chain link fence which worked like a net and stopped it. Luckly only cracking the body.
 
actually the bumper wouldn't have helped,but will check that out too.It looks good on your truck!! The main impact was on the tire.Concrete still on tire in pic,BUT if I would have had RPM arms I probally still could drive it.I have made a RPM list.

Is there anyone on here that sells RPM stuff???
 
Check out www.rcboys.com they usally have really good deals on Rpm parts.

Beason I think I'm going to get one just like that before I end up bashing up the front of my GT lol

I have one on my E Rustler and I have jumped it from insane heights and landed nose first and it just bounce off the bumper and keeps going lol
 
yea jesse i could see a nose down landing on this bumper.. BOOOIIINNGG like a pogo stick LMAO!!
 
Yeah, and the way I drive, I really should have one on my Rc10, something to put on my X-Mas list I guess :)
 
Thats a nice wreck there... Try some steel or titanium nose tubes (new era models), and definitly rpm parts. Other than that, you are on your own. :wedgie:
