so far i've spent $80 at nitrohouse to repair what was broken.

Upper and lower arms for the left side, center dogbones, front upper hingepin holder, diff case.
 
Ouch. That did NOT bounce. Lookin at the big LiPo and the motor cooler it obviously happened at some pretty high speed, doubtless while your buddy was WOTing it without looking where he was goin.

I only trust one person to drive my rigs, and he's a UK drift race winner, so he's probably a better driver than me anyway ;)
 
ouch that does suck man, yeah for sure dont let your freinds run you rig unless they have something to put up for trade lol.
 
he completed one small circle and then proceeded to WOT it into a car tire. Top speed is probably in the 50's and he hit the tire anywhere from 35-40. It came to a standstill immediately.

The vehicle is a brushless ofna jammin crt.5 Mamba max, Feigao 9L, castle bec, 4S 8000, Hitec 5955.

Its a solid truck that chip cross built and by far my favorite rc of all time. it even beats out my e-savage. tight tolerances and high high high tunability.
 
Wow, that's major carnage. We really like to see stuff like that.:whhooo:

That took a really MAJOR hit. Now you know why no one drives my Savage.:hehe:
 
by the way. thats the center dogbone thats bent.

What you don't know is, that secretly we've all been taking it out and driving it. How else can you explain the amount of dust it's seen recently? :hehe:
 
Same thing happened to my Cheap @$$ Acme buggy. I hit a concrete shoulder about 30mph and it broke both A arms.
But like I said, it was cheap. It now sits on a shelf but not for admiration, just to remind me not to buy unknown cheap brand RC's.
 
Damn!!! OUCH, now i dont think lending my r/c to ANYBODY!!!

Is the gearbox alright? A hit that hard to bend a dogbone must not have been good for it.:\
 
I have been tempted when someone asks "Can I try" But I know how easy it is to loose control. Especially when someone has to think it out " ...OK.... which... way.... is.... the... brake?" It seems the natural reaction when you get tense is to SQUEEZ ....
