I'm allowed to laugh at you, because I stab myself almost every time I eat chips. I gues your supposed to slow down or something. 🤷‍♂️
Every time I slow down to eat chips, I end up going slow enough to be able to taste them, resulting in eating MORE chips! 🙄

Those darn kettle chip are like eating pieces of shale. But I love em!!
 
unless you had radar on it at the point of impact i don't believe that MPH. it doesn't take 70 do that, i did it on a RC10T3 doing maybe 30mph (stock arms, and it wasn't a parked car, it was a pole on a backstop of a baseball field)
I've radared it at 73 on 4s. Somewhere on here I have a screenshot. But yes, it was at full throttle on 6s so it was 70+.
 
I'm browsing Facebook marketplace and where do people get their prices from?! These aren't scammers, these are people who are active in other Facebook groups and have sold other things that aren't a crazy price.

1.) A VRX 1/10 nitro buggy ($200 brand new) and a quart of Traxxas TopFuel :vomit: that's listed as a "Losi racing buggy" for $850...

2.) There's another post with 4 cars. 3 of which are old 1/18 Chinese cars, one of which is in two pieces and the other is a very well used 1/10 redcat volcano... all brushed. $850.

3.) Countless other posts of roached out Traxxas vehicles and people want retail price for them.

Better hop on those killer deals before I do guys! Do people really fall for that stuff?? I mean seriously, who in their right mind would see a Traxxas maxx for $650 that looks like its lived in the bottom of a lake for a year and go, "that's a really good deal and I need to hop on that right now!" The best part is the descriptions... it'll be practically brand new and they won't know ANYTHING about it. Like how do YOU not know what YOU bought it for 2 months ago?!?! Like you bought it NEW and are asking 5x what you paid for it?

There is a guy on fleabay that has been trying to sell some chinese bubblegum aluminum modified garbage, with a bidy that looks like it was painted by a blind toddler, and he was wanting $1200 for it. It was there for at least a year. I sent him a couple messages about it, and he was CLEARLY a moron. He also had shoe goo or hot melt glue all over the ESC.

We were talking about it. I don't remember which one it was. He had about 4 or 5 rc's for sale. All garbage, and all ridiculously priced.
 
Pit board. First time I bought one it was too big and was glass, 2nd time, local lexan shop screwed the cut, and the wrap was delivered ruined, 3rd time, bought a Hudy pit board, and it arrives damaged.
Jeez, that sucks. Sorry about your luck! I hope you finally get one undamaged!
