Default Destroyed my 4 tec

Wow what a crash! I finally just got my Ofna Hyper .21 tuned, 4 tec was screaming. I came by for a high speed pass in front of the girlfriends house (by the request of her sister) just as I went flyin by I nailed a rock I hadn't noticed. I hit the brakes which fliped it around backwards, then she slamed into a curb at 50-60 mph flew about 10 feet in the air and slammed back to the ground. The crash cracked the block where the carb sits, bent my cooling fins on one side, destroyed my carb, broke my throttle servo, broke my carbon fiber upper chassis, broke the carbon fiber rear shock tower, bent up my exhaust, destroyed my battery pack, reciever crystal, and I am sure a few other things I am forgetting. anyway here is a video that pretty well speaks for itself. Enjoy

Here is a little bit more detailed video of the damage. You can see how my fins bent

now that your 4 tec is broken, you should by a real mans truck, like a E-Maxx, or a T-Maxx, not a touring car, or a buggy, that way if you hit a rock, it wont flip, and you can go out in the dirt
