Default Break one truck...grab the next.

Tell me.....Do u guys bring 2, 3, 4. or 5 trucks with u when u go bashin? U know if one's doing like 50mph and kisses a tree...lol. (That never happens)
So u just reach in the back your van,truck,or car. and pull out another . The bashin just keeps on going.
Like to hear how many u guys bring at one time, to bash with.

Guilty. Went out today with wife and son, 4 cars. Son's Stampede, my tt01 rally conversion cop car, caster f18 and Losi mini baja with a slow motor to let kids drive. Had a great day.

I bring a Jato, Ofna MBX, T-Maxx and sometimes an on-road depending on where we are. I like to have others play too and of course, if I break one, there's another to grab and use.

Yes,

Last time I went to the track (entry fee $10 each), I did 3 laps before the conrod snaped and went home

dissapointed. So I fixed it and also bought a used car off ebay which needed a bit of work. So now I

have a backup car just incase.

I take everything I have (so far). My XTM is pretty bombproof and so is my Rustler now, the Blitz has yet to break anything but it is totally stock so what kind of damage can you do at 15mph anyway.

I upgrade or reinforce things as they break so now I rarely need backups, I take everything though because I like to have Nitro and Electric as options.

I run alot with a friend of mine and this is usually what we bring every sunday morning..

missing are the HPI Baja's and the Buggies.. but this will hold us for a few hours... Yes, we break trucks, but we also drive them like we stole them... Just grab another and go...

Default RE: Break one truck...grab the next.

I usually only take one if im just going to be running for an hour or so. I always bring tools and whatever I may need to fix small problems. I have yet to break anything that put me out of commission for the day though. And honestly, with my electric stampede its about as tough as they come, so a spare spur gear is about all i need unless i just happened to flat out plow into something the wrong way.

Now, If i were going out for a heck of a bash day I would be taking several rides, but if im just going out for a short bash i only take one, and I have yet to have a problem doing that.

guilty, any time I plan to bush with my buddies I take at least two cars usually three and parts to fix, racing wise the most I have ever took is four but one local has a race trailer he pulls for his rc stuff, I think he can run 11 or 12 cars on one raceday if all the classes are viable.

Default RE: Break one truck...grab the next.

I used to bring all my tools and parts with me, but I have too much stuff now and its too much work to lug around everything.. It works out better for me and my friends to just bring a bunch of cars instead... I still bring basic tools and plugs, but thats it.. when one breaks, just grab another...When I run the Baja 5B.. I just bring gas...
