Status: offline 		This isn't about a Redcat product, I'm so glad this wasn't my Backdraft 3.5....., but I just wanted to share my misfortune a few minutes ago.

35+MPH into a concrete Block is NOT a good thing guys.......LOL


Well, I desided to see how my Nitro Sport ST would run on my new 15% N. 18% oil fuel mix and after I got-ur tuned up real nice it works great.....runs like a champ.....or at least it did until the sun got in my eyes and I lost track of where the truck was pointed at WOT........!

Oh yeah, I freak-in nailed a concrete block at full bore and it was not pretty, busted bulk head, busted shock, busted caster block....that sucker stopped so quick and cracked so loud I just started laughing because I knew I really trashed some stuff this time.........LOL

anyway just wanted to share my big wreck of the week... well back to the work stand this one goes....dang-it!

Peace

Status: offline 		I do that kind of stuff just about every time I take my trucks out; I always come home with something bent or broken.
Unless you go to a track which most only allow buggies, shortcourse, stadium trucks there's really no open area place I run my rc's in my location and there's always some kind obstacle or solid object around where I run.
