Default RE: Ever do something dumb?

Glad this is carrying on nicely

I know I have done lots of other retarded things. Just cant think of them all at the moment. I can think of a couple now:

- Put the differentials in backwards in my old t-maxx. Who hasnt done that though? lol

- Ran my old rustler with a pro .15 through a water puddle on accident. Darn thing went wide open straight down the road, and hit a pile of wood. Amazingly, nothing was hurt. I killed the engine, and then the receiver was fine after it dried out. lol

- One of my other Recent dumb things... Read that I could use traxxas Revo 17mm hub adapters on my MGT by "slightly" dremeling the nub off the back side of the hub to fit closer to the bearing carrier so that the pin hold would line up. Little did I know that meant leaving a paper thing wall of aluminum behind the pin hole, as well as slightly drilling the axle hole in the hub out more, and also STILL having to wedge the grub screw in. I broke a grub screw pin first trip out and I know it would just keep doing it. They looked great, but it was a $22 mistake and so I have HPI E-Savage 17mm hex adapters/nuts ordered now which should be a direct fit. Live and learn i guess.
