Hitting tires
I alwayz see forums about bad wrecks and how ppl alwayz hit tires of cars in a parking lot or something, and yesterday i found out how they hit them, i was running my rustler and the throttle on my transmitter made a CLICK sound and i couldnt stop, it just went full throttle into a tire accross the street from me, it broke most of the stuff at the front left tire, i cant fix it soon cuz i dont have anymore money!

Those car tires can be dangerous.When my freind got his buggy he was driving on his front street and hit a car tire going full speed.Bent the chassis broke the A-arms bent the hubs and radio tray.He only had the car for 2 days and had just finished breaking it in 2 hours before the wreck..He fixed it then he did again with the same tire lol.He wasn't going full speed this time though and somehow he just bent the shock tower.

Is it just me that's coming off extremely stuffy with crashes then?
You name it, my car seems to be drawn to it, but I've yet to cause any damage that a bit of superglue wouldn't cure...

OK, I admit defeat.
Damn that knock on wood stuff doesn't work
I shelled out almost £25 this morning on odering a few replacement parts - some of my superglued bits have had one too many accidents...
I really should move to a street with no kerbs...

Hitting tires
two weaks ago just 2 hours from a race i was practicing and i jumped and landed unpside down and the throttle rod inn got off its place and the car went full throttle and the turnmarshall instead of turning it off he just flipped it back again and it crashed again at the curve and no one knew how to turn it off until finally some one shouted to step on the flywheel.
i thought that the engine was going to be unuseful but all that happened was that the clutch shoes came off and the differential broke, I fixed all that and just 5 minutes before the A main I ran a lap to see how it worked and the plastic thing that screws to throttel servo borke and it went full throttle again and it took the turnmarshalls like 20 sec.s to turn it off, i hurry to replace it and the car just kept on turning off when i braked, but i had to run like that and the car died at the middle of the race.
when i got home i realized that the car kept on dying because the clucht shoes came off on the second full throttle incident
i think i have the baddest luck of the world, also i had the best equipment of all, almost all people had rtr's and i had a factory team gt, hardcore titanium chassis, mt12 engine, m8 radio, etc
this just sucks, im reteiring for a while to see if bad luck goes away
