my first crash.......OUCH!!!!!!
i had my first crash this afternoon.....was just cruisin on the front yard at my gf house showing her little cousin the buggy......went to turn into the driveway to put it away n next second the High voltage power lines must have kicked in n away she went......... full throttle into the next doors front yard flipping n tumbling n then taking off again...... it had a fight with some bricks...... possibly hit the neighbours car but we dont know(there was a decent dint but my gf's brother didnt know if it was already there or not) then slammin into their garage door before finally flippin again n landing upside in next door to next doors yard..... may not sound like much to some of you but it got my blood rushing.... it totally bent the chasis in the ass end(dunno how it managed that) as you can see by the pics and the state of the arm(or whatever its called) that runs from the chasis to back suspension components....... and it also busted a screw to do with front suspension.......... :whhooo:
NOW..............
how easy will it be to bend the chasis back into place or is that to risky or will it be weakened significantly? and what about the plastic arm that i have bent? does that require replacement or what? if i had a failsafe unit on my buggy would it have prevented a run away like this when there is interference???? :dumb:
ill upload some pics...... some of you will probably think nothing off it cos I'm sure u have had better stacks but hey........ its my first..... and I'm sure it won be my last.......
