This is why you don't buy Traxxas...

I'm surprised that you guys even broke anything at a track... I only break stuff when I make contact with hard stuff at high speeds.. Although, I did break an arm one time trying to air out a track jump and landing a wheel on one of those corrugated lane tubes...

One guy broke his slipper clutch, another has weird problems with his transmission going out. The owner broke a shock mount and my nephew broke a hub. Not sure about the others but that track is not without it's dangers. My toughest obstacle is a cactus that I hit at least three times about 1 1/2 feet up the trunk of it. I'll see if I can dig up a couple pics of the track. It is a lot of fun.

[Krathead]

Yeah here is a better shot. I got a little carried away off those doubles and hit it.

Does he make you guys sign waivers? I'd be worried about someone catching a truck to the face and getting sued.

no, it isn't usually all that radical. Mostly slashes and Rustlers getting 8 inches of air.
