My First Wreck

[agm130]

Well I was drivig around in a parking lot with the body off, tuning the motor. Well I was going a little too fast, and I was a little too far away to judge my distance.

Oh well, that why they make replacement parts!

 

[RaCinJason399]

ouch that hurts but you will have many more lol.... thats not that bad of a wreck probibly $30 bucks right?

Mike C are you looking at this? This is more of a respectable wreck... Let us know the carnage and the parts it takes to fix it along with price for all of them...X

 

[agm130]

Carbon Front/Rear Shock Tower NTC3 6.69
Front Bumper NTC3 3.89
Front Suspension Arm Set NTC3 7.69
Shock Mount Nuts .95
4-40x3/4 Flat Head Socket Screw 1.90

In-Stock Items: $21.12
Priority Mail (Special Rate): $12.99
Subtotal: $34.11


I ordered all of the stuff from Tower. Opted for the Priority Express Mail. Plus the regular Shock Tower wasn't in stock so I went with the Carbon one. Not too bad!

Ouch! Looks like you were at least having fun!

I'm getting pissed off already that I havent been able to run my onroad in MONTHS!

I'm MOVING! Screw this shiat!

 

[x_789]

Hey AGM looking at that pic again did you crack the Tank ? I didn't see that on your parts list. X

 

[mjime714]

Yeah! I love breaking stuff! Nice job agm130!:thumbsup:

 

[agm130]

No the tank is fine, Its just that on the NTC3 tank (mine at least) there is a slanted angle in that corner. After looking at the pic again it does kind of look messed up, but its fine.

So what did you hit?

Yes and does look a little worse then my crash:devious:

 

[agm130]

I hit the curb. I was probably going about 30+mph. There was an uneven surface and I was trying to turn, going fast on it. So i kind of just drifted right into the curb.

 

[NCNitro]

That sucks, I just recently hit a curb at a good clip with my RS4 and busted my pipe, bent my header, and busted the front arm. I am going to get the THS Racing pipe or RG concepts pipe. Actually a wreck is a very good excuse to upgrade to better parts.

 

[agm130]

I was thinking the same thing, I'm looking as some of the K-Factory parts for my Ntc3.

Nice wreck!!! *standing ovation*

"Shock Mount Nuts .95
4-40x3/4 Flat Head Socket Screw 1.90"

How many come in a pack? Don't get me wrong, I shop Tower all the time, but I think they get away with murder on hardware (as do most hobby shops I know of). If you will, at my local Emigh hardware I could get 4-40x3/4's hexers for $.06 @ and most small nylock nuts (shock mounting nuts) for under $.08 @. You might want to check out your local hardware store next time.

Some ppl act stunned when they see my bags of extra hardware, as if it cost me $100 or something. Shoot, I feel cheap if I go to Emigh when I need a screw & don't leave with a bag of 20 stainless steel screws. Call it a waste, but I usually reassemble with virgin hardware.

Very nice crash .

I do same thing at hardward store load up i think I'm gonna order from mcmastercarr i paid 5 bucks in hardware other night couple screws were .25 cents a screw ... i could have ordered 100 from mcmaster for 5 bucks

 

[x_789]

Rob you hit the nail on the head man. Myself and a a couple buds all got together and did a order from mcmaster it is so much cheaper. The local Ace store here charges 15-30 cents depending what you need that is RAPE...X

 

[M@xximillion]

Nice work! Get used to it LOL! McMaster Carr is a bible for the smart hobbiest. If you look carefully enough, you can find all kinds of goodies.

 

[Truglodite]

cool, i'll need to check out MCMaster next time. btw, i also found this just now:

Microfasteners

 

[x_789]

Hey TRUG I just looked at micro fastners ... Those dudes are VERY expensive compared to Mcmaster...X
