Status: offline 		I had my first crash today . I hit a curb a full speed with my new RS4 3 evo. Don't know what happened I was in range and I have a fail safe that works good. I just drove right in to it. The car hit and fliped side ways and landed 3 feet away from the impact site upside down.

Damage I can see right away.
smashed fuel tank
smashed front A arm(time to get the metal ones)
broke fuel tank mount
broke front wheel(brand new first run)
knocked the exhaust off(no damage just scratched)
body scrached and broke also riped wing off
battery tray hold down tab broke
front outer axel is gone(yea I said GONE as in looked for it and couldn't find it)

Now I'm going to take it all apart and see what else is broke.
Here are some quick pics

Status: offline 		Yea the chasis was bent (I bent it back straite and I ordered all the parts to fix it). The total is about $45 in parts not counting the body because its still good to run. The best thing is I hit the curb at a angle so the car just bounced off if I would of hit head on it would of been alot worse. It hit so hard it knocked the crome off of 3 of the 4 wheels. I sould have it all back together by this weekend I hope.

Status: offline 		I bought it off of ebay (from this guy http://stores.ebay.com/Exile-Rc-Exhausts ) . The run that I crashed was the first time I drove it fast with the exhaust pipe so I didn't get to see if it effected the power in the high rpms. I have drifted with it and I don't see any loss of power in the lower rpms. The one thing about the pipe is its heavy so that will effect the handleing (hey I just had a thought I wonder if the weight of the exhaust caused me to crash. )

heres a video of the sound diff. between the new and old exhausthttp://www.clipshack.com/Clip.aspx?key=20C1D913826B2183
