i got bored and thought i would go through all the stupid things ive done with my cars over the years i have had them.
This can only end well lol. 1.So my first crash is with my 'first' rush evo. It was the day after boxing day and the car was freshly run in and me and and my mate thought it would be a good ide to go to the golf course, we had been driving round for about an hour when i rolled a nitro for a first time (go me). But thats not the worst of it, my mate then lost a wheel nut which ended his day and as i was laughing at him my rush evo was going full chat up the grass (i swear i didnt have my finger on the remote wink wink nudge nudge) and BANG ity hit an old oak tree. Damage: None person at fault oak tree not me 2.i now had a it more expieriance and me, my mums bf and my mate took the cars to shirley hills (mums bf:savvy 25, mate:brand new firestorm me:rush evo) and i decided to race my mate, to put it bluntly my car hit a rock at a funny angle and broke an axle. Then mates car got hit by savvy lol Damage:Broken Axle Cost: £5 person at fault:stupid rock 3.Got my savage now and was racing up and down my road, on the way back up the hill i hit a telegraph pole in 3rd gear and it ripped the left hand front wheel with wishbone and shocks all the way back so they were level with my engine. Damage: all of the left front side Cost:£0 Person at fault:telegraph pole 4.Took me rush evo to mates field and the conrod blew through the engine to put it bluntly lol Damage:whole engine Cost £0 Person at fault: mate 5. took savvy to field, jumped off 50ft high jump Damage:4 bent drive shafts, broken tank and broken shell Cost:£15 person at fault:mate told me to do it. 6.Got mt2 off a friend, racing it round a field, battery box fell out and it ran away. Damage:broken hub and steering Knuckle Cost:£5.99 person at fault:the clip that didnt go on battery box on its own. 7.I was racing savvy round field and hit a tree heres the damage and how i fixed it. 1.bent chassis plates fix:hit with hammer 2.air filter split fix:bigger cable tie 3.carb wont stay on tight now fix:glue 4.broken chassis brace fix:to put it bluntly........ i didnt 5.front centre driveshaft fell out fixput it back in lol 6.cracked engine brace fixnce again....i didnt fix it lol 7.bent titanium spur gear fix:straigten with a vice all in not the best thing ive done 8.Racing savvy round mates place and the top of the cylinder head just fell off all on its own, it had absolutley nothing do with the fact that i hit my frinds tamiya mini and rolled it lol 9.tryed to do a backflip with my savage at epr, it got completely vertical and for some reason hit the brake. Damage:broken tank, shock and engine brace. Fix: i didnt reason for breakages:i have absoloutely no idea. One of my most memorible war dog of an rc car was the old kyosho zaboon, now this thing has been through the mill. 1.sunk it in the sea 2.crashed into a vauxhall corsa 3.set it a light for some reason 4.crashed it into a bush of stinging nettles so i sent my mate in to retrieve as you do 5.played banger racing with it with some cheap nikko cars 6.crashed it into so many kerbs i cant remember how many the only thing i ever broke was the speed controller, that was when i sunk it in the sea then i sold it to my mate (cwilson) and hes manged go through like 10 esc's but the best one by far was when cwilson was racing at epr with it in practice and on the back straight the car died just before the tarmac epr sign, smash another brushless car hits it full chat, crash another brushless car hits it, all the zaboon gets is a turnbuckle pop off, the other cars had all sorts broken with them. (the people with the brushless cars might be on here so if you want to no if that really was you just ask cwilson lol) then i got a b4 for my birthday and for some reason all i ever broke half the time were bloody rear shoc towers but thats a whole other story say i if you think i should be put away for rc cruelty so anyway what have you lot been up to.

'OOps, i did it again'...well sort of anyway.
about 1 maybe 2 months ago i went to my mates house with my savage after it had recently been collocting dust on my shelf, my mate has a big field out the front of his house qwhich is where we use or cars, now my other mate (cwilosn) had brought along a cheapo rc mini, one of those massive 1/6th scale things that cost loike £50, he had had the mini for nearly a year and what he was going to do with it was put some proper electrics in it so it was better, he never got round to doing it so i said to take it with us and give it a proper send off, so first of all we started the savage up and let the engine get a bit of heat, so we got about 6 foot of rope and tied the front of the mini to the rear bumper of the savvy, first of all i dragged it up and down the road as fast as i could and was launching it about half a foot to a foot off thefloor, so then i decieded to take it on the green, i eventually hit 3rd gear while pulling it but then the rope snapped, so the mini was just sitting there in the middle of the field, before my mate went to get it i told him to leave it there, i turned the savage round and gunned it towards the mini, 1st gear, 2nd gear.......finaly it hits 3rd gear about 25 foot away from the mini, SMASH, the savage ploughs into the side of the mini, pushing the windows out the casing, splitting the shell in half, snapping the bonnet off, blowing the interior out through the boot, while at the same time the savage bounces happily along the ground finally coming to rest on its wheels sstill running, i drove it bac to me and taking a quick look showing nothing broke on it, the mini though quite literally went home in a box lol. Doing the same thing with a chrysler crossfire toy in a few days time. Anyway, what happened to you lot breaking your cars, or is it just me who is irresponsible and childish lol p.s. when i was declaring war on the mini, amzingly i hadnt had anything to drink lol

The msot desrtuction to a car i have ever done was with my rc18t, was drving it through a chicane when i got interfearence and it sjumped onto the back straight going the wrong way. Was going flat out with a mamba in it, on-coming was a 4wd kyosha with a 5.5 brushless in it going flat out as well. The kyosho came out unscaved, cant say the same bout my 18th scale though. Broken chassis broken cvd's two of em, broken wishbones and a fractured carbon fibre top deck, also the servo broke and the batery pack was all over the place

Me well I had a xmas pressie when I was young and that was a Tamiya Facon, when it was released (now I am an old git) and as soon as I built it I drove it down the driveway and the chassis broke when i crashed, I only did 20 yards with it, a big disappointment. Tamiya cars were as fragile as china.

I also recall Dave Belsten had a good crash. He was driving a YZ10 and had a head on with my Lazer ZXR. I only got a scratched bumper and he had a snapped wishbone which was quite funny. Those wishbones didnt break easily.
