Wow, that IS pretty embarassing. I can honestly say that I've never been embarassed about anything related to my Tmaxx.

I would have walked off the ankle injury....got my truck running again...and ran the girl down with my t-maxx. I bet you she'll get tired of running before you run outta gas! LoL

lol, I have never had a real embarasing moment except the occasional failed unveiling of a new built kit. My nieghbor though, who cant drive his way out of a paper bag, was drag racing my TC3 with his modified TL-01(just bearings and a fast motor) and on the way back hit some little kid who was watching us, lol
BTW I won the race

The most embarrasing moment for MatLarson29 was where he just stops right infront of me and I slam into his MGT at full force. That was 2weeks ago. 2 days ago I was catching up to him because he started way infront of me and caught up with him in Midair....Mid air collision, broke the newly replaced rear knuckle. Sorry matt.....NOT.

It would be hard to select Lysle's most embarrasing moment.

Here are some of the candidates:

1. TMaxx runs away, shoots across the parking lot and embeds itself in a snowbank.
2. TMaxx runs away, crashes into neighbor's house, bends the heck out of aluminum bumper.
3. TMaxx runs away after seeing itself in the mirror.
4. Flying air to air combat, got scared, turned off transmitter in mid flight.

Please choose your favorite.....

Matt

He's just upset that a 1/10 scale truck can beat his 1/8 scale MGT. It's ok matt, there's help. The Nitro crisis hotline was established to help...not hurt......1-800-Imscared

You can beat me in a straight line, after about 50 yards. Turning or landing jumps...... different story.

I've owned my Tmaxx for about a week.

I flipped it, went to turn it back over and in the process hit the bat switch on the truck so when i set it down it took off running 10' circles at about 3/4 throttle. Stood there for like 2 min scratching my head wondering why it was refusing to obey my commands. Had to chase it down.

I was enjoying pulling 180's and sliding to a hault from 2nd gear when i stuffed it completely under my BMW? (no body on it) does that count?


hmmm wonder if we should start a "most stupid moment" so far under this category by best has to be my recent "crash" i slammed head on (sec gear full throttle) into the curb. came to a very abrupt and sudden stop. hard enough that i broke the 2 rear motor mounts and the gas tank (in the rear) and now have a nice stress crack in my severely dented AL skid plate.

As for stupid I wanted to see how fast I could go with my Tamiya King Hauler so I shifted it into high and gunned it, made a turn a little too fast and tipped it on its side, only scratched the mirror and no one was watching
