Status: offline 		About 2 weeks ago my highly modifed RS43SS got a little far away from me. (It was running good as hell and I was showing it off to my dad for the first time) I was in a Circuit City parking lot and lost total control. I said "Dad I got nothin'" No brakes no steering but wide open. Wound out in 2nd gear. It went head on into a curb, flipped over, the engine cut out after about 4 seconds( I could hear the muffler had popped off) I walked over 2 it and could tell the wheel and tire was sittin' kinda funny. I flipped it over and heard all kinds of parts rattling around, I almost wanted to cry I was so pissed off. The chassis was bent, fuel tank and brace cracked, bumper assembly destroyed. Cracked radio tray and battery casing. The front of the body was just all F...ed up! And I have to rebuild one of the CVD's. I just got all the parts to fix it from Tower Hobbies today. Ended up costing about 80 bucks. I'm surprised that none of the suspension component were really hurt. From the speed it was going, that car should of liquified. Before I run it again I'm gettin' a fail safe.

Status: offline 		i was gonna say i remeber somebody had a buggy that hit a parked car bent the chassis and exploded but you beat me to it shozzz lol. neway i think you got away lucky on they crash with the rs4 i would have expected it to be alot more than $80 for that. I guess some crashes are good though they are just an excuse to get upgrade parts lol.

My worse crash wasn't involving any of my cars but my new heli. i was doing hand lift offs kause the grass was too high and i was having trouble with the tail rotor all day but it was flying. i let go tail rotor went wacky then in my panic to stop it it tilted foward to the right and slammed into the door of a wrangler. broke both battery holders disconnected the battery, snaped the landing leg, and messed up the tail rotor more. luckily micro helis are cheap to fix and super glue fixes all...needless to say i just sent it out to have ti tuned so it doens't happen again
