RE: wirdest thing you brokin on you mt
My buddy was driving his XXX-NT outside when it started to downpour. While madly driving it back up to the front of the house through wet grass he "lost control" and took a short boat ride about 10ft into the pond nextdoor. Except unlike a boat it of course didn't fare too well in the water.
I wasn't personally responsible for this accident but I did have to repair it afterwards. Every electronic device on the truck was severely glitching but still working mostly. It was all replaced though. We could determine the engine stopped running due to it being flooded though.

While braking in my losi lst I had some battery pack / wiring issues ( the receiver would work intermitantly)Anyway on the 3rd tank at 10 MPH or less the receiver goes out and the losi hits the tire of a parked van with its bumper. I thought well I'll just go over and pull it of the tire and check the reciver problem and run it around some more.But to my suprise when I walked up to the truck the bumper was purfect but the frame was broke in half and the top plate was bent at about 15 degree angle.[

yep that sucks cendude.
Thus the importance of the electronic fail-safe. The LST chews through batteries very quickly, often as little as 2-3 runs and then operation of the vehicle becomes nearly impossible and very dangerous as you have pointed out.
Reminds me of the time my little brother had just got through braking in his new truck, HPI MT2, and started driving around on the street. No less than 3 minutes later a very audible crunch sounded out as the truck careened with the tire of a parked geo metro. Teal green no less. Ugh, what an ugly car, and what an ugly mess of the front end of the MT2. In all it was only a few screws pulled out from the plastic and a broken hub carrier but it would definitely count as holding together by one turnbuckle. heh.

I I stuck a pack of firecrackers inside the tires and stuck the wick out of the hole in the tire... lit and drove off and wall-ah, instant hydraulics.

Just kidding... but that would be cool.
