:doc: Post your worst injuries due to your 1/10th, 1/8th, 16th scale, beast.

3rd degree burn on index finger from flywheel,
nerve damage in middle finger from wheel kicking exacto knife into middle finger.
 
None yet... and a T-Maxx ran into my leg at 45 mph a few weeks ago, lucky for plastic A-Arms!

OUCH! You don't look like a safe hobbyist, maybe you should take up lawn bowling instead- only old people get injured in that game. j/k :bling:
 
maybe a few minor burns from touching the header
 
Various Burns from accidentally getting tooo close to the tip of my soldering iron. (Its fun to build your own battery packs...NOT)

1" Scar on inside left ankle from 5000Mph Out of control nito buggy of some sort. (at least it seemed like it was going that fast when i looked up and realized it was comming right at me)

No big deal, Its called "Natural Selection".
Stupidity should be painful. (I stoled that one)

I bet you liked every minute of it too.

Nothing major yet. I had a pretty bad burn from touching the muffler after an engine overheated.

I think one of the touring car guys broke his ankle by running his car into it at 70mph. ouch!
 
Numerous burns from the tuned pipe. I keep forgetting it's hot when I pick it up. Oh well.
 
A couple of burns from the header and cooling head, a big bruse from hitting my leg and top speed and loosing control.So far no major damage has happend to me!:marshall:

that's just nasty!
 
Empty wallet, not actually a physical injury but an injury to my ability to buy cool upgrades instead of just fixing broken stuff.
 
Hmmm Various burns, Brises,cuts, etc...

Jeez I'm starting to think Football is safer and it's also much easier on the wallet...:devil:
 
And my Maxx hurt my feelings the other day because I couldn't get it to wheelie...
 
hit in the shin by a 1/8 scale buggy when i was corner marshaling.
at a race.. OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Sore fingers from installing shock socks.

Gimme time, though... It's only been a couple months.
 
Flywheel ground quarter of my middle fingernail off
