Beware, if somebody insist that they try-out your car, shout "NNOOOO !!!" in front of their face, otherwise, you will regret what would happen to your car.

All you off-roaders can relate

#11 When you are a marshall at a off-road race and you go to a truck that has its body pushed in and you are doing the guy a favor by fixing his body and he gooses the gas and you get a face full of clay!!!!

The last time this happend to me I put the truck back down on its lid and walked away.

He bought an Ofna Lx pro and after I spent my time getting it ready(locktite screws and all that) and broke it in for him and tuned it a little he took it home and ran it full speed into a truck tire...lol.Bent the chassis and several other vital components.Then he asked me if I could fix it for him when all his new parts came in.I fixed it for him and he went out on his street again and again crashed into an immovable object.Not really any damage just the servo tray was bent but now he doesn't drive on his street anymore.

Status: offline 		1. Being afraid to take it apart because you dont want to break anything.

2. Spending 45 bux on shock tops, 2 wheels, and clips.

3. Getting more gas to run it only to break the stupid glow starter


yeah man i probably would have bought an electric first, but i had too sweet of a deal on mine. I admit i am a noob, but i dont really care, because i will eventually learn, and then everyone should watch out. Also, when i get a 26 engine to fit in my car, than it will go crazy fast.

Status: offline 		bending stuff so then u have to buy new stuff. the only good thing about it is i beat the **** out of my truck to make sure the bent parts are bent.

made a jump today out of mulch, its about 5 ft tall. yeah went at it at full throttle. soared at like 25 ft. for a couple 100th of a sec and then managed to do 3 or 4 flips, cartwheeled for at least 20 ft. and then somehow managed to rip the antenna off and land on the engine head. now it wont start. not looking forward to buying a new engine, especially after this one is only a week old..... ugh
