Where did that curb come from? (pics)

[griemar]

Yup...more carnage! Was finishing off the tank before I was going to stop playing for the day and then it happened. Came cruising up the back sidewalk about 1/2 throttle, decided to play in the dirt and then CRUNCH! Got loose and went nose first into a little piece of the sidewalk the was sticking up. Good-bye front end

Waiting got vid of the damage also,but youtube hasn't approved it yet.

comments welcome :LoL:

Haha man that sucks lol. Did you feel it in your feet threw the ground, thats when you know you have hit it good. Just gives you all the more reason to upgrade everything though.

Didnt feel it in my feet, but felt it in my chest. It also made a very distinct "Ding" sound when it hit so I knew it was done. I can still taste the dirt from picking my jaw up off the ground. As for the upgrades, already have my order ready for a full set of RPM upgrades and payday is in 2 days :yes:

meh, the damage isnt all that bad, as long as i didnt kill the steering servo. What get's me is where i hit. This photo will explain. Let the insane laughter begin!

Its just like ridding dirt bikes, if you see a rock coming, dont stare at it, or youll hit it, look where you need to go and not what you dont want to hit. lol.

my father would call that "paladino luck" (thats are last name) you have those two big smooth surfaces and you hit the 1 inch corner, lmao

just surveyed the damage....thus far without tearing it apart yet I only need a new top plate and a new Front Sub-Chassis. Both parts are about $6.00 each from my LHS. $12.00 worth of damage plus tax...I can live with that! Still ordering those RPM parts though.

That'll leave a mark. That would be my exact luck too, hit the one little bitty spot of concrete that's sticking up. Thanks for sharing your pain......no matter how cheap or expensive.....LOL.

I know how we all love some good carnage pics so I sont mind sharing. Besides....if it aint broke, your not driving it hard enough! I just can't stop looking out my back door and laughing at my stupid luck though.

As for being upgrade time....YUP! There goes this weeks check :LoL:

gotta hate the curb when they appear out of no where

Damm that sucks, you had to hit that just right to do all that damage, I bet if you were a few inches one way or the other you probly would have been all right, oh well it just gives you an excuse to upgrade..
