whats the worst you have done to your rc car

[savageman25]

i thought it would be fun to find out the worst crash youve had with your car, nitro/electric or even 2 stroke petrol ones.
Just to start, i think the worst crash (which wasnt my fault at all) was when my savage 25 crashed into a tree full pelt lol, wasnt pretty.
Not my fault, that tree shouldnt have been there lol

[GRIFF55]

When i was young(long time ago now!). I had a tamiya bigwig with the 8.4v battery and a technigold motor:drool:, i raced my dads milkfloat(bedford cf) as he drove off and he went straight over it!! What a car, it came out the other side in one piece:thumbsup:

[ashleyb4]

I havent really had one relaly bad jump but a few goodones.

First one when i was younger and i had a nitro touring car i used to drive roun my local carpark. This car ark is quiet large so i went flat out acroos the carpark got it into 2nd gear must of been doing about 40 MPH and i hit a drain grid and it took off did a full spin round 360 degrees was about a foot off the ground then landed back on its wheels but and span aorund alot. Nothing broken but then i let my dad have a go and he crashed it into a concrete pillar and whiped the front end off.

While racing its self we moved Oswestry National jump into the middle of our small track and we raced on it and i jumped it and flew straight into the telegraph pole with my b4 i broke wishbone bulkhead lost m hingpin brace and broke a shock tower.

Then only a few weeks ago i snapped my xx4 chassis on the jump at coventry i also snapped a rear shock tower to at the same time.

I've been quite lucky i've had a few big incidents with never getting too much actual damage.

A few times I should have destroyed cars, I tore a wheel off my Traxxas TRX-1 once hitting a fence flatout with a 12x2. The car went one way the wheel went the other.

[Chrislong]

I had a Procat and the crystal went of all things. At the time I was racing in Rochdale in the Methodist Mission, on the top floor. My Procat flew out the door and somehow made it down 2 flights of stairs unbroke (except crystal).

[bondy]

Snetterton IC On Road National a few years back ! All slightly pissed ! Running a Swift 1/8th rallycross around the off road bit at the back ! We ran out of nitro so we filled the tank up with VKD while it was still running ! It did about 3 yards :thumbsup:

Needles to say engine was toast !

[Mike Hudson]

worst i've had must be oversteering on a corner years ago with my old saloon car and writing off the rear end haha another time the crystal went of all things on my savage .46! luckily it was on a big field so it went to the other side happly as 3 mates chased it to stop it haha took about 5 minutes to catch up to it when it found deep grass on a steep hill

[bigred5765]

i heard of a certain someone that geared the hell out of there of road car,
threw it out the back of a coach on the motorway, it kept up for 3-4 mins then died off.
they drove it till it dumped then left it to be killed buy oncoming traffic,
what a waste !

[dan r]

the worst crash i have had was at bataly indoors when i was turning on the end of the straight but forgot to brake before the polished surface and i had no steering and flew into the wall :( and the shock of it made me walk backwords and i fell off the stand lol

but all i broke was
shock tower
titanium hingepin
wishbone

[mole2k]

I once was driving sharing a bodyshell with a friend of mine because mine wasnt ready in time. When it came to the finals we both qualifed in the A so I had to borrow a bodyshell of somebody else.

After about 1/2 a lap I started to get a sinking feeling that my inputs where having little effect on the actual car... Suddenly realised my car was sitting mating the wall at the bottom of the start straight.

[showtime]

i'm like a regular demolition man!
i break stuff nobody else does :thumbsup:

2nd time out with my Pred LOL

http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL23/1877918/3626044/313723751.jpg

[Lee]

One that sticks out in my mind. I was out in germany racing TC at the LRP masters, phil booth offered me a new A team chassis with cells slightly further forward etc for the mission, i built it all up and 29 heats later it was my heat again, one of my fellow team mates put the car down for me, only to be wiped out by an oncoming car, yup chassis broke :lol::cry:


Another one was when the pred on road car was out (it was crap) and we were at wrexham, one car had spun on the straight, another swerved to miss it at full chat, he hit a kerb which made the car fly perfectly towards the fence, the car went through the wire fence taking all 4 wishbones off the car and the body looked as if it had been attacked with cheese wire:lol:

[chrispattinson]

At an outdoor regional at Bury, I remember getting it wrong at the end of the straight where the ramp is, flat out with a 4.5 brushless in, and flying off the track, hitting the building (which has now burned down), and breaking my brand new Lazer ZX-5 clean in two, through both lower and upper decks. I also done wishbones, lost the outdrives from the one way and cracked the alloy shock tower brace.
I've never had the confidence at the end of that straight since that crash.

[Balders]

When I was about 14 I borrowed my friends Cougar 2 and we were racing it around on the street... You know this can only end up in tears...

It got run over by a Blue Mk3 Escort 1.3L ... And they didn't stop! (I will find you one day, you can't hide for ever!)

I can still hear the crunch to this day and the scream of my friend.. Luckily the car had an ali chassis so the damage wasn't as bad as it could have been, all the electrics survived but the plastic bits took a hammering..

Happy days! :blush:

[nobby]

i had just finished building my kyosho mp7 8th car so i took it for it's first run down the street (oh dear big mistake)

outside of my father-in-lews shop in north shields i blipped the throttle a few times until the tranny cells went flat.

without a fail safe fitted the car took off down the road making a bee line for the coop window:cry:
thankfully a rover 216 sitting at the junction stopped it in it's tracks:thumbsup:

damage included chassis front shocks an os 21 engine and pipe front shock tower most of the plastic parts three drive shafts one center drive shaft and worst of all my pride:blush:

total repair cost £290 trade price:cry:

[Southwell]

At 3A i was coming down the straight with my B4 and the rear wheels span up and it slid into the nitro buggy bit writing off all the wishbones, shock towers, driveshafts, shock shafts and more :lol:

[mole2k]

I think my biggest non-accident was this;

Racing in close with 2-3 other cars comming to the end of the straight the guy infront of me braked slightly early compared to my braking point so about 2-3m before a brick wall my car gets launched off his back wheels sailing through the air.

It hit the wall with both shock towers at the same time and bounced off completely unharmed. On further inspection in the pits afterwards I had flattened a bit of the CF at the top of each shock but no further damage.

[CAClark]

My only major trashage was many moons ago with my Hornet, and in a split second where my view was obscured by my cousin, I went flat out in to a washing line pole, which promptly snapped the front of the tub clean off :lol:

[josh_smaxx]

This all sounds class :thumbsup:

Mine:

With my nitro truck: once when TRCC still had the permenant off raod out door track it took off on the straight and just kept going, lost my exhaust deflector. Went at and angle into a curb and snapped the huge, solid plastic bulkhead in 3 places clean through. Jumping it off my BMX ramp in the garden, it nose dived and rolled and stopped a few inches from our 4 foot deep pond.

With my nitro TC: second day i had it, took it to a local retail park on a night to run it in, on last tank, opened it up along the carpark, Rx batteries failed and it just went flat out, full tilt square into a curb, wasnt pretty, chassis looked like a banana.

With my B4: to many to list lol :thumbsup:
Went bashing 2 weeks ago, one crash broke a rear wishbone, next one snapped a rear chassis plate, gearbox housing and front shock tower. Had an awesome crash at the TRCC long jump, wiped out a rear shocktower but the car bounced rather spectacualarly down the straight afterwards :thumbsup:. Gone over a small jump at TRCC a few times as someone tried to beat my car accross it marshalling, they didnt beat it lol. And then there was the time i smashed the mamba max motor but im not allowed to delve into that one :wub


Thats all i can remember, tis early for me :p

[CTN]

I accidently stompt on my Manta Ray on it's first try out.

[Billthemina]

at TRCC on a practise night (i think) i shreded 4 belts on my xx4 :thumbdown: (but it didn't feel like 4 at the time :cry:)

and when i was with josh bashin he broke all them things and all i broke with my xxxcr was 4 rear camber linkages lol :o

[markwilliamson2001]

After 15 years of racing I have a few...

Broke 2 KO 1001 servo's in one day, one was a friends and my dad had to pay the £40 for it to be repaired...

Broke the front shock tower on my Lazer ZX-R, after I jumped it into the lawn mower, while Nick Goodall's dad was cutting the grass at the clubs outside track. Got a nice shiny Carbon one instead tho!

Did 6 ball ends in one winter meeting on my pred (the part at the hub end of the wishbone). I think the cold weather had something to do with this..

Good points (NEVER broke a XX4 belt ever...), or shock tower or wishbone.

[CraigM2610]

One sticks out in my mind;
It was a club night at York indoor and it was practise after the the heats. Matt Myers had a go with Lil Bens car and he drove into the computer knockin it off the table it was on :lol:. Luckily nothing broke and nothing got unplugged so the finals could be sorted. :thumbsup:

Sorry Matt :blush: lol

[DCM]

hmmmm, well me and Losi cars have never ever gotton on at any point in my racing life since 1989. One season, when the XX first came out, I jumped on the proverbial band wagon, and the car would break stupid stuff for rather bizarre reasons..... and it all came to a head at Cheltenham (I think) in a RRCi meeting.

Went out in practice, rear hub, round 1, shock tower, round 2, hub, went and bought another Schumacher 2wd and started building, round 3, sheared a ballstud on the rear tower, round 4, ran a newly built Schumacher and made the A, after qualifying, the Losi went in the drainage ditch...

[cwilson]

well my worst crash was with my losi mini-t. the car has been throgth alot. it has been crahed into by a hyper 10 on-road at full trottle. it was drowned in a puddle of water. and then to kill it it was jumped off the back of a morris fg ambulance on to tarmac (ouch). that jump broke the front chassis plate into 3 peices, chiped a large section out the front bumper, broke the plate that holds the battery case down and snapeed the front top chassis plate. so alot of damage in that one crash but i fixed with cable ties and duct tape. like they say there is noting you cant fix with cables ties and duct tape.:thumbsup:

[rc10andy]

The stupidest crash i have ever had was my own drunken fault. Me and my mate were stopping at my nans bungalow while she and my grandad went away and one particular evening we decided to go into the attic room and put my R/C buggy (at the time a B3) on the roof and jump it onto the garden grass(great idea!!!) only the plan didnt work as i hit the god damn garden path!!! As you can imagine there was not much left to salvage! lol - beer makes you do wonderful things:thumbsup:

[savageman25]

CWILSON dont take all the credit, who was the one who told you to do it.

[nitrokillah]

The stupidest thing I did was on the beach I had just finish rebuiling my LST2 and forgot to put the plug the servos on the recivers.
I started up the car and it took off doing hudge circle. it wasn't going too fast ; but fast enough for me to look like a fool to try to catch it.
:blush:

[losidan]

i had a good one with my old xxx at batley one sunday when it was quiet.

went up at full chat to the double but car was not straight. the car went up and the outside front wheel caught the paving slab which is the barrier on the side....slingshotted the car round and it went spinning into the metal container clearing the whole width of the straight first.

Not a bit of damage....next run, just touched the edge of the kerbing at the concrete hairpin and snapped a wishbone!!

[aeb4]

i was driving a on road nitro car at my house and the brake stopped working. so i went full on into the house

[DNF]

I had a Procat and the crystal went of all things. At the time I was racing in Rochdale in the Methodist Mission, on the top floor. My Procat flew out the door and somehow made it down 2 flights of stairs unbroke (except crystal).


I remember that!

I used to 'race' (mainly crash) there with my Cougar 2. It was the track with the tight banked turn wasn't it?

I've crashed my old 1/8th Bergonzoni Flash into my toe; broke my toenail down the middle:cry:

[B44&501xRacerEX]

Mine would be super gluing my 501x rear diff together.

Due to that I need new pulleys...:cry:

My front diff is okay and has been sealed shut with CA with the
cardboard diff cover.

I made a mistake and didnt let the diff sit vertical instead I sit it
sideways and it dried into the rear diff balls.:bored:

[mobile chicane]

cml practice b4 chasis numerous wishbones and rear shock towers and an antenna tube:bored:

[mole2k]

I once hit one of the wooden jumps our club uses at an awkward angle and started to roll, got my aerial caught between the take off ramp and the tabletop section it pulled the entire aerial out of the car reciever!

Hi-tec replaced the aerial for free though.

[MK999]

Snapped my b4 chassis across the bottom, duck tape and superglued it for the last heat, qualified for an a final with my fastest run of the day, then snapped the top brace (which was holding the whole operation together together) on the first or second lap. :thumbsup:

[Hog]

Racing at my club (village hall, slippery floor) I came out onto the straight and thanks to radio interference from a duff motor I went straight on into one of the concrete pillars built into the wall.

Cue one snapped Lazer ZX-5 chassis and an email to get the KMC conversion kit........

[Lew]

i broke like 4 or 5 shassis in like 3months on my xx4....
i remember using my nitro car down at the bike jumps at chicksands... took it off a massive drop... and i mean massive n went flying into a tree.. remember on my first ever car tamiya tl01 and my first ever drive, took it out on boxing day round the run down pub car park opposite, no cars anywhere, and the car had a switch on it, it hit a bump n switched off, ust went flying into the road and the first car i see of the day runs it over. nothing abit of fiberglass dint fix :D haha

[sparrow.2]

I didn't do this one but nearly threw up at the sight.

About ten years ago racing wide touring cars (ah the days :wub) one of the guys running F1 at that race drove straight into a marshalls foot. The marshal was wearing sandals and the F1's front spoiler took the guys toenail clean off. The race was stopped because the poor guy was rolling around on the straight holding his toe...

My mates dad took a predator (the old one with the pointy nose) in the knee and cracked a kneecap. Ouch!

[Spencer Mulcahy]

I was at Bury metro with my Fireblade going down the main straight the car in front was weaving down the straight so I pulled out to get past and clipped his back wheel at full chat, started to role down the straight landed in a heap with only two wheels left on it. The next car down the straight didnt see my car and took a third wheel off one hub a drive shaft two wishbones and Colin Brennan pissing himself all over the track.:thumbsup:

[savageman25]

Havent seen any more new posts on this thread lately, maybe people have stopped seriously breaking cars, well not me lol
i was driving my savage at my mates bit of land after a night of heavy rain so there were big puddles. (now would be the time to tell you he has ducks up there and they like there savage free pond)Now i was being a bit stupid going through the puddles which were getting bigger each time and then i thought i would drive one wheel into the pond,then two wheels, then all four decided (nothing to do withh my trigger happy finger) to go in this 4 foot deep pond. It was FLOATING yesssss, nooooooooo, the front wheels went under then the exhaust was gurgling under water then the whole thing went under, engine stopped, pulled it out started up again first time then full throttled it into the water and hit the really deep part and savage no more. Took engien apart all fine in there savvy goes again, maybe my b4 will do that.

[cjm_2008]

at last sundays club meet I started to play around with the slipper setting on my b44.

this involves inserting a 2mm allen key into the slipper retaining bolt, and rotating the axles. a very clever system.

time was running out before the next round, so I rushed to get the car onto the track to test the slipper.

I couldn't quite work out why the bodyshell wouldn't seat with the velcro properly, but I ignored that and put the car down. full throttle, noise, no movement....!

yes, i'd left the allen key in. thankfully the slipper stopped any damage to the top deck or electrics. NOOB MISTAKE.

another one: back when I was 14, my local club used to race at my school hall. I'd charge all my cells up (yuasa 1700s'!!!) and carry them in a tool box. I usually got away with it, but this time I had a hacksaw packed in next to them. of course, they shorted on the hacksaw. cue 2 sets of melted cells, a plastic tool box with a hole in it, and a very depressed teenager.

[millzy]

not done huge crash n smashing for a while but years ago when i was given a Pred p8 to try at a tiverton winter round.

Any way coming onto the straight i over powerd it and the car drifted right and clipped the track marking and jumped over to the other side of the track inot on coming cars.....

Future national champ Lee martin was full pelt coming the other way and i hit his b3 head on...smashing the lent Preds chassis in half and killing the left side of Lees B3.

That's a pretty nasty crash. My freind wes had his predator at Albion he hit the wall and broke the main pin on the rear end. Had to take the chassis apart to fix it. He had that car in a million pieces.
He was also having issues of stripped spur gears, so he had to take an assocaited B4 spur gear and cut it to fit in his chassis.

He'll be selling his predator later on this year to get a Serpent.

[Garry Driffill]

What rear pin do you mean ? did he take the full car apart to fix a rear pin or somthing :lol:, B4 spur gear on a predator ! WHATS GOING ON !!! :woot:

[B44&501xRacerEX]

What rear pin do you mean ? did he take the full car apart to fix a rear pin or somthing :lol:, B4 spur gear on a predator ! WHATS GOING ON !!! :woot:
Dont ask me, he made it to the A-main though.
I'm the B-main Bandit and didnt make it.:(

[sport10]

My worst crash happened to my XXX-CR buggy. I was running in Tallahassee, FL at Tom Brown Park just practicing. We had this kid with a 1/8 buggy just driving crazy. The buggy had way to much power for his skill level. Any way I was practicing racing with one of my friends and my brother in law and this kid managed to jump the triple and double jump in the lane next to the one I was running in in one big jump. He landed in my lane and hit me head on with my buggy running around 25 to 30 mph in the opposite direction. The impact broke the chassis in half right at the steering section where the front plate and chassis join. The front half of my buggy was thrown into the next lane. The kid packed up a left without even saying sorry. People are so rude today. This is why you do not want to race electrics with 1/8 scale nitro B-Mag!

[Mash Potato]

I can't take credit for these, I found them on another forum, but they are pretty serious. The pictures say it all really.

The worst I did was when my brother and I took our cars on holiday as kids.
We had a great time running my Boomerang and his Super Sabre on the beach splashing through puddles etc. Only trouble was, we left them til we got home before cleaning them up!
The driveshafts had rusted solid into the drive cups :blush:

Still good old Tamiya, a clean up and they were as good as new!

[wacattack]

Worst I ever had was in 1996, racinmy RC10B2 at (I think) a Mtroniks Winter National.

Went round the corner to head onto the straight, started to throttle it, then I suddenlt realised I wasnt in control. The car went all the way down the straight, full speed, straight into one of the wooden benches.

Everyone just seemed to stop. After the race went over to my car to investigate. The cells shorted out against the graphite chasis, which shorted the speedo and got stuck on full throttle.

So, what did i break?

Chassis
Pack of cells
Speedo
Servo
Shock body
Bent both pistons
2 wishbones
Front shock tower
Bent 2 turnbuckes
Ball joints
Front chassis plate
front top chassis plate


The car was more or less a complete writeoff.

Luckily for me I was sponsored back in them days and didnt cost as much as it should have to get sorted.

Nightmare!!

[Chrislong]

Millzy's crashing the X-5 at the Batley indoor finals 2006 was funny. At the time I felt bad for him, as it wasn't his car, but now it is funny. Didn't even turn, I think the Mtroniks had gone into "blue smoke escape" mode. Lots of damage.

I seen Rich Lowe cartwheel down the straight at Teesside and I think every corner was broken off!

[bigoggy]

when we used to race at warsop on wednesday nights. about 15 years ago. the esc on my procat went up in smoke. i drove it off the track and as i got off the table we used as a rostrum a marshall placed it back on the track. the next guy to come round the corner hit it full from behind. i lost both back wheels and the esc and chassis melted. that was my last ever race. only now am i thinking about racing again after 15 years of bashing

[bigoggy]

some say this is the worst i have done

[lochness42]

some say this is the worst i have done
I'm blind now :woot: not really, you can see it even in night :)

This is why you do not want to race electrics with 1/8 scale nitro B-Mag!

I cannot say I've ever done that. I used to race revo's with an E-maxx though. It's impossible to beat a revo with an emaxx.

I have practiced up at reo many times with nitro 1/8 buggies and the worst thing an 8th scale has done to my B44 was push the rear end to the pipe and I got stuck.
Jerks!:(

:rolleyes::bored:

[savageman25]

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
fix:once 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.:confused:
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:mad::mad::mad:
but thats a whole other story
say i if you think i should be put away for rc cruelty :woot:
so anyway what have you lot been up to.

[bigoggy]

at least you use them hard, like they are designed to be used :thumbsup:

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.:thumbsup::thumbsup:
Doing the same thing with a chrysler crossfire toy in a few days time.:woot::woot:

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 :woot::yawn:

When i was young(long time ago now!). I had a tamiya bigwig with the 8.4v battery and a technigold motor:drool:, i raced my dads milkfloat(bedford cf) as he drove off and he went straight over it!! What a car, it came out the other side in one piece:thumbsup:

Old git hehehe.

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.
