broke front a arm broke a shock and bent chassis
it was not fun fixin it
but it was cool to see

I was bashing around and a bunch of kids came to watch. I tould them 4 or 5 times that the shouldn't come from behind me and walk by, because I wouldn't notice them then. But you know how kids are they still did it.
So here I was at full trothle comming past me and there stout this kid. OHHH he was sooo lucky I didn't hit uhm. He had probably the best reaction time I ever saw.....Pfff...

I was showing off, doing fake wheelies with my new modified motor, and I hit a pillar, it just broke the bulkhead on my B4, and it kept going.

There's another one where I was driving my b4, I jumped it as fast as I can go with a long straight. I didn't hit the jump right, I started barrel rolling, and the car cam up to the quad bump, it hit it with it's left tire, then bounced back like two feet, rolled over onto it's wheels backwards on the track, drove back to the edge of the straight and tried it again. It broke nothing, it made my heart skip a beat though.

i once put a 6x2 motor in my B3 and was trying to jump dads car (chevy s10) i succeded the jump. After the landing i saw something come out of the car, realized i have no control of the car.. da saw that it was the crystal that had popped out.. tried to stop the car that was running in a wide circle. ( we was on a airfield by the way )

When we realized that we could'nt stop the car we waited for the car to rollaround or something.. it ended that the car was smashed to a wheel on a cessna that was parked..

cracked the chassi and te whole car was ready for junkyard..
instead of buying spare parts we bought a new car and used the parts that did'nt break as spare parts..

That's my worst crash..

[tl01dude03]

Once, i was using my tl01 in the parking lot behind my house, and my brother was using his little radioshack pos. i was making some speed passes an he thought it would be funny to drive his little car right in front of me. I rammed that thing at full speed, ant it flew a good 30 feet, did a few flips and landed right side up. He started crying, but it still worked, show how durable those little things are.

[vols-std]

HAHAHAHA

[tl01dude03]

whats so funny?

[Bob Ebophalus]

my worst crash? well that would be the time i was driving my pede on the foundation of a house that was going to be built soon. this house was on the side of a hill and i tried to jump off the most downhill side. would have worked but i hit a clod of dirt and it just started rolling down the hill. landed on its wheels and just kept driving. i was still using the stock stinger so it wasnt going very fast

My firend had a quite funny incident. Him and my other friend were driving their Evaders in a lot behind the local International airport where there are huge mounds of dirt. Well, one of my friends said, I dare you to drive up that pile (quite huge), stop at the top, then drive back down. My other friend, Mike, had the thought of his car breaking because it was about 0-5 degrees Celcius, so he backed off and let my other friend try it. It went well, up and down. Then my friend says, I'll do it again but fastrer. At that point Mike already had visions of an Evader going FLYING higher than the 747s taking off nearby. So up goes my friend's Evader, but when it came to turning time, he lost complete traction. Getting a bit frantic, he turns the wheel completely and pins the throttle. Well, the car DID get traction, but only the back tires. The Evader, being rear-wheel drive, hurtled off the end of the huge pile of rock and dirt. It got some SWEET airtime, but just couldn't take the landing. After the landing, the whole car just colapsed into a pile. It seems that every major part of an Evader ST is attached to the transmission brace. 1.79$ down the road, hes back and driving.

I have had numerous crashes with all of my R/C's. My two favorite crashes were: One time I built a little Jump in my sister's horse riding paddock, and I wanted to show my dad. I floored the Maxx in first gear hit the jump and in the process of landing I nailed my dad in the shin. I think he turned every curse word in the book into 1 syllable. The second crash I had was when I was driving My nitro rustler around at work. I found a little mulch hill next to a pine tree and got some air off it. When I went to show my boss the jump, I missed the ramp completely hit the tree, flew up like 6 feet in the air while doing a back flip, and then it landing on it's wheels. Suprisingly I drove it back and saw that everything was fine so I decided to let my boss drive it. You thought I had bad accuracy...well my boss drove the nitro full blast into his own foot. HEHEHEHEHHe. Now the only RC I let him drive are those Micro ones, and he broke that too by driving it off the counter. GEEZ......:rolleyes:

[banditdrifter]

oh yeah, At the east coast hobby show My racing team "Bandit R/C" were showing off their drifting skills next to the rustler track. When It was my turn, I pulled off some pretty sick drifts. Unfourtounatly(sp) my good luck went sour as my car hooked up at full speed...and...BOOM...My tl-01 with my kick butt tom's supra body smashed into the giant concrete support beam. The only damage was my reputation. :(

[Viper__13]

Mine arent that bad but Ive had alot, ran into a mailbox, curb, ran off the side of a ramp, had a runaway from a loose throttle servo arm,pulled the wheel (not tire, wheel) of my step pins apart, burned up 3 diffs, 3 spur gears, and after all that I gotta show somebody my truck while running it, grrrrrrrrrr.................

[Viper__13]

My friend broke my radio shack car about 4 years ago by just scraping against a curb, funny that he did the same thing to my XXXNT yesterday by hitting a jump wrong, good thing I had some super glue.

[Manbik]

About a year ago at a National level event. I hit a car that flamed out and had stopped in the middle of the track at the end of the backstraight. Estimated speed of impact ... 65MPH approx. They found one of my shocks in the grass 30 yards away.

The damage...

the RAIN and drive's it that was nice to water is flying all over the place.


his car is a bandit
AKA: cheap Speed

[banditdrifter]

Dude that is hilarious...no really it is...I mean it...

[MrCrash]

I once had to watch my Inferno slam dead on into a curb at close to 50.The dang bugger even took my only working glow ignitor with it:mad: A few $20 bills later,my clutch blows,before I can even test out the rebuilt suspension:(

[Viper__13]

BLOWN CLUTCHES SUCK! Grrrrrr they mess up your engine. Of course the time mine didnt work it was my fault, I didnt take the time to put it on the right way. EVen if it was backwards, it worked, kinda :D

[moorerc]

Well, my worst crash with my B3 was during Easter. I was up at my cousins house, just driving it along, on my first pack, and was kinda jumping over the curbs from the grass to the road. Well, I went into the neighbor's driveway, and the curb went out a little more than I thought, and the buggy smashed into it at full bore, ripped the suspension pin right out of the front bulkhead, did a few cartwheels and landed on three wheels. I could still drive it, so I did, with one wheel steering, and then ran into another curb, which ripped off the other side of the bulkhead and the front bumper. So just for the hell of it, I drove it around with no steering for a while. That was kinda fun too, the tires would turn up in the air, but nothing would happen. It looked like it was waving at you.

And another time with my Maxx/MP, I was gunning it for a jump, which was next to my mailbox, and I lost sight of it for half a sec, and slammed into the mailbox post. I was going fast enough that my fuel tank ripped off the mounting screws, and slammed into the steering bellpost, cracking the tank. Amazingly, that was all that broke, but I had a RPM front bumper, and Al. Bulkheads. Oh yeah, I took a chunk out of the post too :D

[traxxas-dude]

My worst crash was with my traxxas tmaxx about a year ago...i was crusing up and down my street, and then decided to ramp the curb(pretty steep curb, usually get about 4 feet of air when going full speed, about 40), but i ramped my tmaxx going full throttle, and my crystal popped out, and ran right smack into the corner of my house...to give you an idea of how bad the damage was, my truck ended up in 8 large pieces, with many smaller ones(2 of the tires acctually rolled down the driveway:D ), but it cost me 80 to fix, thast just the plastic parts, and then i had to replace 90 % of the metal up front, casue it was all bent up...

[tl01boi]

i don't know if this counts for a crash or something bad, but when my moms friend was leaving our house i started up my car and turnd on the transmitter then my battereys died and my car was going in cicrcles den she ran right over the engine head and suprisingly it was ok nothing wrong i was so amazed lol

[drumr racer]

did you know that the b4 does sweet wheelies with out the front end (every thing that comes off in front of the servo) but watch out for rocks i hit one at full speed doing a wheelie and it flipped and cartwheeled tore the esc and reciver clear off it was cool looking flying off the street and making a dust cloud:D

[ZeroMax]

the second day i brought my new t-maxx 2.5 i took it down this abandoned farm area it was raining the day before so it was very wet and muddy, so i covered my maxx up with everything that you need to waterproof a truck.... but i didn't realise i still had my proline road rage slicks on and also something that i didn't realise was on the first turn i took it ended up in a flooded ditch. so the next day i ordered my self a new sirio .18 and its as good as ever ;) BTW, if your thinking what i done with the old 2.5 i sold it to a junk yard shop and said the origanal price was $300 and he gave me $100 for it, it still works i think .... just a little rusty

[tl01_staniland]

lol good thing is that with tamiya the parts are usually cheap

[379]

i rippes the glow plug right outta the head in my nitro rush it went under my pete the head hit the front suspension on my pete ripping the head right off the 15fe block by ripping the heads right of the head screws the cylhead/glo plug assy bounced up into my idling engine belts ripping the glow plug right out of the head thank god my hood is 1/2'' thick or those parts may have ended up lodged in a 747 flying overhead at the time no damage to the engine in my pete and i left the parts lodge in my pete's hood needles to say that wrote off a piston/sleeve set and a $40 fan belt and a cyl head for the 15fe in the rush and wasted the body byond duct tape the rust stull runs with the same block because the head screws stripped at the head not the threads

[shadowghost1]

My worst crash was when I was turn marshalling and a 1/8 scale buggy jumped over a hill and hit me in the ankle breaking my ankle and big toe.....ouch!!!!!

[highroller]

In all my years of racing I've had minor breakage(bent dog bones, cracked kingpin, stripped spurs and smoked a couple motors) but a year ago was my worst; racing 6cell mod oval. During practice and first 2 qual the car handled great all day, but in the 3 qualifier I got a hit(bad glitched) going into turn 3 (full throttle) broke: servo and gears inside, shattered front bumper, cracked chassis, ripped out right suspension, broken tplate and bent the right side (aluminum) pod plate and stripped the spur found other parts were also cracked or bent beyond being reuseable. Couldn't repair car in time to run the mains. Ran the other car in 19T Pro and finished 2nd in Bmain, it was an enjoyable and costly weekend. Had to buy and build a new car, new servo and other items. The only savageable item was the ESC.

[born2rc]

13x2 Fantom + XXX4 + Curb = splat + 40mph roll + broken parts

[TL01_TOM]

1:10 TL01 + 1:1 Clio = 1 squished nissan!!:D

[Toyotatogo]

The area from the security guard tower to the curb is about half the size of a football field......

Red: My Modified HPI RS4-2 impacting the traxxas at about 55mph breaking my failsafe and battery connection bending the chassis in a U shape and throwing the pipe and header off losing all control sending it towards the flagpole 100 feet away then bounces off of that and heads another 100- 200 feet towards the curb for a final rest stop..... In total I hit 3 TIMES

Blue: Friends 1/8 BMT On- Road Car which I am racing......

Neon Green: Stupid 9 year-old boy's Brandnew $300.00+ Limited Edition 1/10 Traxxas 4-Tec (who decides he wants to be funny and dart in front of us while drag racing)

Who knew u could play pinball with an r/c car?
