Default The lake

Took the rxt to the lake today on my parents new lake lot lots of rocks and roots sticking up, I was running it full speed and hit a root the rxt tore the root out of the ground and did what seemed like a 1000 flips b4 it stopped. It was still running, you can see the root got wedged in the suspension, took the root out and kept driving hit another root this time it wedged it's self under the body, I didn't think anything of it, I hit the throttle and it took off went to hit the brakes but it kept going right into the bush. It went in about 15 feet hit a tree was still running full speed the root that went under the body bent up my linkage, I bent it back and kept running. That rxt is indestructable. The last pic is the 8ight from last weekend at the lake.

Ya I know they are abit on the dirty side Eddie lol but was having too much fun to care and I didn't run the upgraded Viper Tom it looks too good clean, I'll take one of the other vipers out next time I miss running the vipers. Prolly heading back out to the lake again this weekend hopefully I'll have someone to video this time.
