RE: Crunch

My vote did not show on the pole but I said "Run over by a Baja 5B". Just because it is something that you would not expect.

Cool pic!!

RE: Crunch

Yeah most likely that kind of damage came from hitting something head-on.

RE: Crunch

I clocked that baja doing 40mph as its top speed and the Vendetta's top speed was about 55mph. They hit head on, the vendetta did manage to flip the baja over though. That lipo is a 2100mah 3S

RE: Crunch

SWEET! 95MPH COLLISION!!! Now you just have to calculate the amount of force each car had, and the amount of g's that the vendetta suffered.

yeah, but a b5 is HEAVY, so you have a super light vendetta VS a B5, it is obvious who is going to win, the B5, man, that was one BAD crash

RE: Crunch

Just curious what are you running in that vendetta?

I've been doing 1100 3S w/ a silvercan in mine and I get around 35 mph, I'ma recalculate it sometime this week when I mark off an actual 100 feet.
