I thought I was going to Hurl :puke: LMAO! Luckly some very nive RCNT members got me up and running again thanks again guys!!!
A MAJOR 2 thumbs up to ZANDOR for that. :thumbup: :thumbup: :bow:
 
I hit the x-factor jump (from peepee's sporting goods) WOT with my tmaxx... it landed with the backend first really hard after getting 8-10 feet in the air. Trashed the bulkheads/ shocktowers/ bumper mounts.
It was pretty sweet though.

I just found a $100 gift card for peepee's and was wondering what I could get there for RC :shrug: ... now I konw
 
I tried chatting up a really hot barmaid when I was 18.....I crashed and burned so badly I couldn't go back there.
 
i have had a couple of bad crashes...
- i used to have an old ofna nitro Z-10, (for those of you that remember that car it was sweet...) that was actually my first car and after break in from my hobby shop, i couldn't get it started, and i forgot to put the radio on, and when the car was started the throttle was all the way open and the car just took off all the way down my street, i saw it slam right into the curb, and the front end practically exploded (it was actually pretty cool to watch). i dont remember all the parts that broke but it costed me 125 dollars to repair. i basically needed a whole new front end. that sucked so much...

-i also used to have an ofna ob4, this isn't exactly a bad crash but it almost gave me a heart attack. i was driving my ob4 and my brakes werent working becuase I'm the retard that didn't set them up right (this was my second r/c car give me a break) and i almost drove my ob4 into the drain gutter thing on my street. i turned the car quick enough though. my left tire clipped the drain though. nothing broke though. that definatley could have sucked...

- my brother was driving his brand new savage yesterday and he sets up the kicker ramps to do some jumps. and he missed the ramp on the second time trying and clipped his left wheel on the same drain that i almost drove my old ob4 into. he took out his whole front left end. costed about 45-50 dollars to repair.

Today I was racing around and hit a cement pipe going about 30mph and my entire front end was almost broken off. The only thing that was holding my front end on were the turn buckles.Broke both bulkheads and the skid plate.
So I was wondering what was you worst crash ever.

Been there done that ! Just was a corner of a brick school.
 
My worst crash was with my Tmaxx. I was going wide open and hide a steel culvert. It was literally in 2 pieces. Broke ALOT of stuff. Was a good excuse to go buy aluminum stuff though..lol
 
running my brothers nitro rustler wide open, and hit the back end of his lawn service dove tail trailer. Sheared the head right off, broke the piston and con rod.
 
well my worst crash wasn't with a car but an rc boat. I have a 48" warehouse hobbies enforcer and was running while in another boat. Well batteries died wot/no steering into the side of the 17Ft chapperal we were in. Flattened about 8 inches off the rc boat and put a hole in the side of the big boat about the size of a mini basket ball.
 
Trying to jump my T maxx over my garage. I put a sheet of plywood in my driveway for a jump.
Stalled at WOT and rolled over the ramp at about 40 MPH.
I turned to the right at the last minute, and hit the top of my chain link fence.
(the steel pole on top).
I posted the pics about a year ago.
It wasn't pretty.
 
nah we were still in the same cove as where we launched the boat to begin with. The guy that owned the boat done a jump out as we got close to the landing to go get the truck and trailer. We had to keep it moving cause the hole was in the front so we had to keep it lifted. After said a done we laughed for about 6 months after. $200 damage to the rc boat and $1700 to the big boat. Luckily his uncle owned a marina so we got everything done at cost + a few cases of beer.
 
When i was breaking in the hyper 8 port on my rc10gt, i was doing full speed passes on the street, and my brother's truck was parked on the side. I was heading for it and i hit the brakes and turned, and it spun around and broke an rpm a arm and a titanium turnbuckle along with an rpm bearing carrier... i dont think RPM thought rc10gts would be doing 60+mph...
 
clipped the wheel on my t-maxx on a chain link fence. ripped the front off the bulkhead and broke the skid. I'm a newb so i thouight i did really bad damage.
 
Not bad but i as running my cen mt2 lost control wide open into a curb jumped like 10 feet landed on the rear end and drove strait into a house. Broke only a diff cup and a dogbone.
