Just happened to push the button at the right time, I guess.

It helps explain how wheels break, that's for sure. Thanks for sharing

I'm more amused by the tiny wing on the front. no way in hell is that thing doing jack squat. has to be pure placebo or maybe he thinks this is 2001 and he's going for the Pep Boys style award (?)


edit: also it just hit me i think that's supposed to be a truggy. pretty sad state of affairs when you can't tell wtf it is by looking at it.

Check out the front suspension. Springs and shocks are not compressed at all. Full force is on the tire/wheel. Perhaps a bit softer springs and or shock oil might have helped alleviate the force of that strike. Also visible RR tire ballooning seems to indicate power on/nose down which didn't help either. Hopefully, it survived to finish. -AC

Towards the end of outdoor dirt in my area, lexan front wings were debuting on 1/10 buggies. Cerca 2015ish

I too thought it was funny but I ran one

I'm gonna laugh if you started the next trend........ rc4wd 1/14 front end loader bucket wings.

The shocks have no force on them because all of the force is moving lateral to the ground. The buggy/trigger whatever it is, cased the landing. Essentially nose first into a wall. It probably came to a complete stop as this pic was snapped.

Not a wing. Tiny shovel. This is a photo of a bruggy doing track maintenance

Now now... Don't make fun of bruglies just because they look different. There are other things to heckle too.
