RE: whats the craziest thing you ever did with your rc car
Today I bought a HPI RS4 3 18SS and I bought every aluminum part made for it as well as two pipes and one of those really nice nova cooling heads I've never seen an RS4 with every part on it aluminum so mine will be the first I get to see. Everything from the differential cases to the body mounts and even gas tank mount I bought. Was fun I got it cheap on E-bay. Even got the RS4 cheap I paid 199 for it brand new. I got a new 68 camaro body waiting for it. I'm going to do it black like my other one which is my basher body. I'll have to post pics when after it arrives and I put it together

Jump an all stock Savage 25 and an all stock T-Maxx 2.5 off a friend's three story home. We both landed nose first, as planned. The Savage got a cracked bumper and a scratched up front skid plate. The T-Maxx...well, it needed some major repair (AKA, the front end literally exploded on impact).

I drove a duratrax maximum st head on full speed into a brick building, no fail safe and it just went on its own. Also drove a rc10 gt drunk down a sewer. Never got it back, gone forever.

grabbed a fishing rod with a bigg hook and drug it around for a bit till I got ahold of the truck. The pond was about 15 ft deep and I couldnt quite see the bottom, so It took a while.
reciever and batt pack were fried, engine was fine once I took it apart and cleaned it up good.

RE: whats the craziest thing you ever did with your rc car
once i was driving my savage x with some elect people,one person spun his elect out right when i was coming around the turn,the the idiot backed right in front of me while i was doing about 30 mph,i hit him so hard his car flew 10 feet and snapped into about 6 peices and the battery exploded.i wish i had a camera.i felt bad for him but he was to cheap to buy a nitro truck.and to make matters worse i was about 10 ft in the air and smack landed on my uncles revo,it was a bad day for the other cars but i ran all day without breaking anything just other trucks lol.
EDIT:back to the topic,the craziest thing ive ever done was jump a street,but i went to far and wacked a mail box across the street.i know its weak but that was with a stock s-maxx,yet nothing broke.

Going for backflips with my Savage 25 off my 4 foot nearly vertical ramp. So many crashes, so many ooooo's, but a 10ft backflip makes it all worth it.

RE: whats the craziest thing you ever did with your rc car
my 1st time at a skateboard track was fun it had three bowls sm., med., lg., the med. and large bowl were about 8 feet deep. it was set up so i could jump from one bowl to the next, as i got cocky i got more air, when i came off of one jump the car didnt rotate and came down ass first from about 15 feet up to the bottom of the bowl[sm=cry_smile.gif] it realy wasnt that bad schock tower,and battery holder the battery box lid had a screw stripped through it and somehow destroyed the battery holder[sm=confused.gif], funny thing is i just put a new box and holder on it that day because of some bashing the day before[sm=confused_smile.gif], and i even waterproofed the battery., i put a new tower on worked out some kinks with the batt. went back to bashing and i landed that jump from 20 feet up, iwas like and i had a croud,,, some pic. of the damage before and after
