Default Who ran recently?

Hey guys,
The weather up here in Ontario Canada has sucked lately. Its like 34 degrees today and it was awesome to get my 1/10 nitro extreme forza on the road today. I hadnt't realized how much the smell of the exhast and the sound of it screaming buy makes me happy . I cant wait, cause i just ordered a redcat tsunami ultra wide WooHoo. Any recent stories, crashes, vidoes or "incidents" lately??? Here is a funny one for you " i was racing down my street with my 1/10 nitro buggy just doing speed passes. It was coming directly at me and i though it was going to go past so i turned my head to the direction i thought it was going to go..............and BANG!!!!!!!!!!!!! the damn this ran right into my foot doing about 30mph. **** that hurts...and the car cartwheeled for like 20 feet. landed on it wheels and kept going. lol
Have a good drive guys.............
Don

You can buy just the piston and sleeve for about 50 to 70 dollers here on ebay.

It will save you about $100.00 or so on a new motor.
