Like a 4-tec the car? Damn, you must have really had money burnin a mad hole in your pocket. I can't remeber my worst crash, but I've had some hard ones.

Just my 2 yen about these types of threads, "Worst Crashes" its not fun crashing and spending money of replacement parts. if your a bad driver ok then practice more, but reading over and over again people glorifying crashing is just plane STUPID! :stupid:


Why is it so cool crashing a car?If your rich and have money to burn fine. But what is so fascination with crashing. Its bad enough kids are putting rocket engines in T-maxxas and having them burn-up and exploded. Can you Say " DANGEROUS "?
Caution should anyways be used when running nitro and electric cars. I am just so sick and tired reading these tacky and tasting less threads about crashing!

Worst crash? I haven't had one yet, thank God and hopefully never will either. I've only done a 30+ foot nose dive with a T-Maxx and bent the whole front bulkhead/bumper brace which was easy to fix with new set of screws.

yeah really....lotta negativity on a few threads lately. If you can't say something nice or contributing to the thread don't post.
I took my car to the high school on the track (which is a great place for top speed runs) and I was at full throttle right after a turn, so I was on the edge of the straight and hit a little patch of sand.I was headed straight but it just kinda floated sideways into the grass edge of the track and when that rim caught the edge. It bit and flipped the car up about 2 1/2 feet while in a blur of spinning.I'd say it covered about 20-25 feet before it hit and rolled down the little hill on the side.I had 2 AA's in a lil pack velcro'd to the rear shock tower and I saw those fly out while it was on its way up.Other than grass in the rims and losing the batteries I think I knocked somethin loose in the rear diff because it was real crunchy feelin and pulled hard in one direction but I rebuilt it and its fine now.I also split a rear tire on the tread next to the sidewall.So far thats the worst.

Hey, I've got two stories.....this is when I had my crappy car..

my friends came over to my house while I was just cruising around with my rc. They all have rc's but they didn't bring them. One of my friends wanted to try out my rc since it was different from theirs. While my friend drove my car, my other friend had his bike and they both decided to try to get the rc car to go between the two wheels of the bike as it was moving slowly. They succeded and decided to go again but a little faster, CRUNCH!.....he ran over my car with my body on. The car still seemed to be "alive" and was still working. They asked me if they could try it again, I wasn't sure why I said yes, but I did. This time they were going as fast as the car could go (wasn't that fast). Then CRUNCH!.....that was it for the day. I didn't break anything even though it was a crappy car. I know it wasn't a crash so I guess that story doesn't belong here.

Another day I was racing my friend with his radioshack car . It didn't really pose a challenge but I raced him any way. We were going straight down a track that was smooth. I then hit a patch of sand and went right into the curb. My car fliped and rolled about 5 times until it stopped. I tryed to see if it would be "alive" this time, but no luck . I somehow lost the reverse and the about the whole front of the car was smashed. I guess I didn't really care because I was getting a new car the next week .

well this is when I got my first r/c car, well truck. I bought a t-maxx used so the engine was broken in. I got it started and I was in my backyard driving around. For some reason I thought it was be a good idea to go out on the street to see how fast it would go. Well started of by going up the street and turn and roll the truck. It landed it on its wheels so drove back down the street but only more carefully turning. Then I gave the truck full throttle and stupid me steer it straight under a car. riped the body up and bend the throttle so it was wide open. Well needless to say the truck flu out from under the car going any way. I'm trying my hardest to not hit anything but not able to stop the truck. So I ran it into a thick brush which doesn't stop it so I ran it into a tree which did stop the truck... well I ran over and shut off the truck.... This being my first time driving this. it scared the cr*p out of me.

i had put a new set of softer springs in my rs4 3 and it had quite a bit of body roll. i had the car with th ebody off so i could get to the needles to tune it. anyway, everything was running great and i ran outta gas in mid turn. well, at the end of a tank the engine runs really lean for a split second and this made my car roll. and boy did it roll. barrel rolled 35 feet hit the curb and flew into a bush. the only thing that happened is i scraped the top of my heatsink. that is my worst crash and i hope to keep it that way.

by the way, b4 i ran the car again i went to the lhs and got me some sway bars.

ok......usagi........we are all young kids who like to crash our cars and spend alot of money, and we do it all for fun( i was being sarcastic)......besides why do you care so much? and we need a life? your the one coming in here saying that its stupid to crash. you think we crash on purpose? this thread might also help people so they know what they should and shouldnt do

usagi

What pisses me off is the countless threads all over the Internet about " Worse crashing" making it so cool........ repeated and repeated.........it seems like the same people post the same subject all over the Internet. Thats what pisses me off about this subject.............
If it help prevents crashes? Well we can learn from other mistakes. but I doubt that what this subject is about..........Saying how cool it is ...............is not cool..............Crash on purpose??????????well some do........Why? because of threads like this. Not only is it costly but dangerous to say the last..

HPIRS4-3SS

My Feedback: (2)

well if people do crash on purpose there is something wrong with them. I agree that it is costly and dangerous. but still people learn from others mistakes, and also some people get a laugh out of it....

but if it is so annoying and repeated everywhere why do you come in here? you think we really care what you think? i dont know about the other people but i dont

usagi

well your repling????????arn`t you? Well I am just explaining my thought about this. Seeing countless threads on this topic all over really gets trying. What about some constructive ideas for a change like has it improved my skills, or if i used another type of part would it have broken as easy as hitting the pipe or whatever.......

ANNNNNYYYYYWWWWWAAAAAYYYYYY LETS HEAR OTHERS TRAGIC CRASHES AND BUT A WAY YOU COULD HAVE STOPPED IT SO USAGI WILL SHUT UP.

Savage_Dias

You feel like you can safely say this while not talking about your avatar?

All kidding aside, it looks to me like these horrible waste of money wrecks were actually accidents. I haven't read the second page yet but I haven't seen anything that says "I set up a 5' ramp in front of a telephone pole & made sure I had enough room to hit top speed" or anything similar. The only exception might be the story about the R/C & the bike. Everyone should know that the perfect recipe for R/C disaster usually starts with *1 Cup of Hand Someone Else Your Controller* lol

MonotonalMonkey

Most wrecks are by accident. Usagi, the reason there's so many worst crash threads is because it's amusing to see what people have done to their rigs. No one has said it's cool to wreck their r/c car, and even if they have, so what? It's their perogative if they want to do that. Quit being such a party pooper.

My dad was driving my truck once and a bear ran out from the park and ate it. Then it stood up and started waving it's paws at us and it said, "Play the best song in the world, or I'll eat your souls" I told him he already ate my r/c car, and he was satisfied and then he left. True story... or is it?
