Thought i would bring a little competition to the GD forum. If you have a picture of a bad crash, broken parts, stuff like that...post the pics here.
Anyone can enter a picture but it must show pictures of broken parts...it can be any type of car or truck.
Post the following info
-What type of car/truck it was
-Reason of accident
-Picture
-List of broken parts (if you want)

No pictures but a discription of damage, newly built 10L3O(new team chassis) and other after market items to run in 6cell modified. During the third qualifiers car glitched on back stretch (running full speed) hitting outside wall and going head on into turn three wall. Damage: cracked chassis in three areas beyond repair, broken rims on right side tires, exploded bearings, bent the right side pod plate, axle and hub, plus broke servo. Only items that were useable were the receiver and esc (that was sent back to be checked). Even the battery pack was damaged. That was my biggest and worst crash in all my years of racing. Repair cost roughly $200-$250 to rebuild and replace all the parts plus a new receiver (even though the old one worked I was hesitant about using it). Plus $35 labor, $12 in shipping cost to have esc checked over.

Well this one happened a long time ago. But anyways, I was driving my Brand New MBX4RR and I was doing high speed passes out in the front of my house, Just to get the setup right for the Open track. Anyways, I was doing a high speed run when I had to make a left. The Battery Pack was ripped from the car and was unplugged when the RR wheel threw the pack. The car took off headed straight for a pole at WOT. I took off after it, I knew i couldn't get it but Just so nothing got totaled (I run a 4.1 40 yard dash BTW)... Back on topic, after it slammed the pole my engine was turning full RPM's and the car wasn't moving because the chassis was so bent that the Clutch bell wasn't touching the Spur. Luckil it shut it's self off due to low fuel.

After tallying the damage here's what I came up with:

Chassis, Bent and Cracked
Front Hinge Pins (Both Sides) Broke, Upper and Lower.
Both Lower arms.
Right Upper Front Arm
Front Bulkhead
Front Tower
Center Diff Mounts (Since the chassis was so bad the brace broke them)
Diff Plate
Both Center Driveshafts
Front Bumper (obviously ;) )
Servo

I forget how much I paid in repairs but it was well over $300.

hey rc10gt...not looking to call you out or anything, but do you really run a 4.1 40? The fastest (and I mean absolute fastest) NFL players are in the 4.2 range.
