Default Holy sh*t

I was out running my truck today and i was bashing it, it was running slow so i leaned the hsn out a bit and it really woke it up anyways back on track i was at a bowl sort of thing and then getting a run up and flying high and when my truck landed the wheels turned and suddenly lost power setting the high speed truck on a one way collision course with me! I squatted down with a real concentrated look on my face says my brother and tackled my t-maxx when at about 25 mph not that fast but still the wheels were revving like crazy and it was a wrestle to flip my truck over cos of all the engine exhaust blowing in my face and the wheels reving like crazy i flipped it and then cut it out.

Yea thats my story i havent had the time to look into what went wrong but i may later tonigh. I just thought id share my latest rc experience

The same thing happened to me yesterday. I started it up and it was aimed right for my leg [>:] and it took off full throttle for some reason. [:@] I keep hearing on the news there is some sort of solar flare or radiation surge or something and its supposed to screw up radio equipment so im kind of scared to drive mine.[:'(]

I was making a WOT pass down my street and my brother was behind me, I glanced up and when I looked back down I saw my truck heading straight at me. It was about 6 feet away and I had enough time to jump over it. Keep in mind that my brother was still standing behind me. It slammed into his ankle and took him out. He was fine, but it was funny as ****. I couldn't stop laughing.

I had my cheap ramp setup once and the sissy with the t-maxx was doing baby jumps. Finally, he got the balls to do a good one but he cant drive so he hit the jump at an angle and the thing about knocked him on his ass. Told him it could be worse, could've been a try like last time. [&:]

lol I was trying to get my setting right (trial and error) and I started it up and the throttle trim was to high. All I can say is I heard a scream come from that jogger and I owe a very deep apoligy (sp?).

Well, my driving sucks too. 2 weeks ago i was out with my 2 and 6 year olds and like 5 of their friends and i was jumping my little cinderblock and plywood ramp and i decided to make a WOT jump attempt and when i was like 3 feet from the ramp i aborted because i was going to miss it and i jammed on the brakes. Well, while i was jamming on the brakes my little dare devil 2 yearold decided he was going to stop my 30mph flying truck by walking into its path. Guys, I have never, I mean NEVER seen a 2 year rotate 360 degrees vertically EVER!! That truck nailed him and took his feet out from under neath him and spun him feet to feet. He has a nice bruise to prove it. Honestly, He took it really well. My son takes alot of pain because he is a dare devil but this pretty much just scared the pee out of him. He cried for 30 seconds and was off playing around again. Tough little turdlet!!!

Hey bash, while I have you here, Can you tell me how to get CA glue off my tires. I glued my tires to the rims using not tire specific CA glue. I aready boiled them to get the tires off and they did but now i have all this glue on the tires themselves. I tried boiling just the tires and it still won't budge. Any Ideas?

Im pretty sure ca glue is a form of super glue im not sure but if it is you should be able to use nail polish remover (acetone) to remove the remaining glue bits.
