Status: offline 		I just got to watch it fly, my grandson flew my XL into a tree limb, which deflected it down into the back of a Frisbie golf sign.. I was working on another truck and heard the wide open wail and thump of it hitting the ramp. I turned just in time to see it rocketing through the smaller branches into the tree limb. No really bad damage, just about drove the shock mounts through the body. He had fun and I took some speed away from him with a quick richening of the high speed needle. I also moved the ramps just to be safe, who would have thought HE would get it 25 feet in the air.

For me personally, it would have to be running it downtown on Main Street at 3 AM and through the business arcades, it sure sounds cool echoing in the arcades! BB

i never fast enough to get that high. Im scared to break anything. i do push MY limits sometimes and havent really broken anything. just bust it up from banging into solid objects. not from landing really.

It's real cool when your watching it go over your head and land. I've drove my truck in water up to the clutch bell a few times.And he's drivin his micro-t under a passing car a few times.

Status: offline 		The Savage is too tall... but with an RC10GT one of our favorite games is to catch a passing pickup or van and drive the truck up underneath it from behind. I have been expecting the antenna to get caught and drag one away.....so far...so good. A radio glitch could or would be fatal.

We have a RR track that splits the street behind our house and the high school is two blocks away. It is fun to run north in the southbound lanes as the kids turn north in the northbound lanes. Almost every male will speed up to keep the RC from passing them. I can see them trying to explain to the judge that the reason hey were doing 50 in a 30 was this little car was racing them... BB

Status: offline 		I hit a steel pole at WOT with my Sav, wasnt intentional but by the end of my bash session at the Skate Park my steering wasnt working so well...I didnt get the actual hit on video, but you can see the lead up, then you can hear the hit, and you can see the results...

Jumping onto the shed roof was pretty cool too (and off again)

that Danger Zone video has GOT to be the best single-person (no cameraman, no other people) bash video I've EVER seen.

Kudos!
