I was driving my neighbor's Jato 2.5 down the street, like SCREAMING down the street, when all of a sudden it went SHOOP-- right down a big ass drain. Needless to say we pried the manhole cover off and I went into the abyss.
Turns out it ran out of fuel at almost the exact same moment it went in the drain. Cool huh? Nothing broke, but the head protector on the 2.5 came off.

It was pretty funny though. It's like one moment it's going 60 down the road, next I know it disappears down a friggin hole, then the engine cuts. I actually laughed for a couple seconds before I got serious and all sorry for losing his truck lol

mine wouldl have to be the dday that walked into my lhs and the day before i was WOT with my t-maxx when i lost signal from my radio and hit a fence going about 40mph. i think the only part i managed to save from my front end was the differential. i even broke one of the upper a arms on the back. so i walked into the hobbyshop with my truck and the guy was staring at me like wtf. so told him what happened and i got all the parts. i got home and put it all together and went out to drive my truck and forgot to change the batteries in my radio. well they were right dead and my truck hit a tree but i wasn't going very fast and nothing broke. i felt so dumb

My first real r/c.
4 years ago.
T-Maxx.
Drove it head on into a moving car in the street in front of my house. Yeah, that's about it.

Mine might be the first flight with my Eindecker?
Everyone gathered around to look at it as I was putting the wing on. When we got ready to fly, I didn't have enough fuel to fill it up.
I hate to "bum" anything, so I sit for a minute or 2 with a dumb look on my face (I do that a lot). Even started to load it back up.
My Bros came through with some fuel and all was good though.

Full speed, drove that SOAB right under a Chrysler Concord
I honestly didn't take an inventory of parts. Essentially, I ended up building a Maxx from almost 99% aftermarket. And the addiction began...

Mine was when I got my first electric. I drove it onto the driveway. little did I know my sister was dricing our atv. it was in about a million pieces and in fixable.
asked my sister to film a HSR up close. my depth perception was off and she took and OS .30 powered savage at WOT to the shin. She said OUCH!, i think i got it on camera.
my sister rocks.

I have 2 that really stick in my head.
1. I first got my rc18mt. I was so proud and happy. I just got this new reedy motor for it and was all stoked up to kick my friends butt with this new motor. So there were 5 of us all with minis screwing around in my neighborhood. I got the brite idea to set a ramp on the curb and jumpe into the grass. The ramp was probally about 1 and a half foot wide. Ya disaster was very close. I got ballsy and hit this thing wfo and I missed the ramp by a good foot. Full speed into a curb. I snaped the whole front end on my new truck, blew the motor apart, broke the speed control, and jacked my pride forever.
2. I was at my local track. Just started to get comfortable dirving and starting to jump the big doubles. Well at this track people are known for standing in the middle so I come off the back side tripple in second, land it perfectly, and hit this bigger dude straight in the ankle. Knonked him flat on his ass. It was funny as heck. But that guy was really pissed. He started to yell at me when the track owner, looks at him and goes "next time stand on the side of the track, or closer to the jump, so he can at least try to clear you". lol. Oh good times.
