See peepee.

See peepee do his first high speed run of the day.

See peepee let it get away and from him and run face first into a sidewalk. Hitting so hard on the nose, the back bumper snaps off and flys through the air. It destroys both front bulkheads and both rear bulkheads, fractures the gas tank, buckles a shock and breaks it open, as well as snapping the rear body mount (both posts, clean).

Dont be a peepee!


Never underestimate the power of cement.

OUCH!

That would be what a failsafe is for. Doesn't the new one come with a throttle return spring? If so, the next time she gets away from you, turn the radio off and let the return spring do its job.

Welcome to the world of break, fix, run, break, fix, run...by the way have you met the Master of T-Maxx Disasters, El Pirata? He might be able to give you some pointers.

I used to laugh at people who did that and wonder how the hell could someone run into a curb at wot........and then one day I let mine get away form me and ran it into a concrete drain. Now I know how it happens LOL :classic:
 
My wallet hurts so. All my LHS combined (5 of them) can't supply my expensive habbit with all the parts I need lately. I could race this weekend again but nobody has a rear bulkhead in stock.

The truth is the newness has got to wear off. The days of wot on two wheels and letting the tires oval out like a top fuel dragster are going to have to be replaced with a little more precision and finess, making me faster and richer (even if I win nothing). Not to mention, anyone can bash and destroy, Speed without control = 0
 
Your wallet is going to keep on hurting. That is the way this hobby works. You will get numb to the pain after a while and learn to accept it.

Bash away...race away...have a freakin' blast. That is also part of the hobby.

Happy Maxxin'!

:banana:
 
Great spares to keep on hand are:

1 Dogbone for center and wheel

1 A Arm (Upper and lower)

1 Fuel Tank

Both sets of bulheads

1 Turnbuckle Rod

Spare Fuel Line

Glo Plug


This is just a good base. Some keep more and some keep less.

Chris you forgot what I think are 3 very important items to have in the box as a spare.. Front and rear skids. Seems when the bulks go the skid is right behind it .. And steering bell cranks if you are still running the stock... I would recommend the Pro-line upgrade though if you go the dough. X
 
man oh man. that didn't take long. you did that at half throttle? get it fixed then break it again! no rear bulkheads at the hobby store, eh? welcome to my world. you should just order 'em from great hobbies. i say you'd have them before the hobby shop.
 
LMAO 8-0 ..... That really sucks!! I just destroyed the first body and set of bulk heads too!! Only good thing is that my lhs had the darn things in stock!!



Anybody find that damn tree with all the money on it?????
 
I'll get em, even if I die trying!

(half way there already) ha ha
