RE: how did u brake some thing
well...my friend (in a revo) was driving up a huge hill, his truck went out of view so he slowed down, turned and punched it to WOT
the truck never came back so i ran up the hill to find the truck smashed into a steel bench, the whole front left side of the truck is a complete mess, broken a-arms, driveshaft, turnbkcle, the pole in the middle of the shock, body mounts, and his bumper
about 70-80$ worth of parts
betcha he nevers hits the gas when i tell him not to again.....

RE: how did u brake some thing

well.......4 days into my savage x, i was at WOT going across my backyard running along my fence getting ready to swing around my shed, but i hit a bump the truck wiggled a little bit and the front right tire hit a 4 by 4 fence post. snapped the lower suspension arm in half and broke the shock end. it looked bad but only like 4 dollars in parts.......not bad

RE: how did u brake some thing
i was spraying my car with an aerosole can to clean it, while i was sitting at a camp fire and my car suddenly lit!!!!! so basically it looked like a $450 fire ball. so i threw sand on it to put it out but the wires in the servos melted. so it was $80. but i got higher torque servos

my friend found out that you shouldn't drive an on-road car on ice b/c they spin out of control and go to the part of the pond that is melted....... but he got to fish for it [sm=drowning.gif]

RE: how did u brake some thing
When I go off jumps I like to stand in front of the car so I can see where it lands. Well the other day I went off a jump and the car hit me smack in the mid section. It didin't hurt but it sure was stupid.

RE: how did u brake some thing
it wasnt actually me but i gave my first ever truck to my lhs for tuning. on collection day, got call from my lhs telling me NOT to come and collect it and come next week as he was driving it and crashed it in a fence cause batteries died and that he broke the hub and its all minor. i went to my lhs to see my truck anyway. turns out the whole chassis is bent, servos cracked open, and the whole front was unrecognisable.
