Default ...and damage was done!

myself and some buddies got to do some bashing today!

earthquake 8e, ran good till the batts were almost done when a nasty tumble on pavement broke the steering link.
i was doing backflips of a small skate board ramp

losi strike with a vxl system on 2s lipo, hit a snow bank at full speed and jumped over 30 feet! broke a shock!

exceed mad speed, broke a camber link

my friends aftershock 3.5 was running good. he is a nitro newb, and has 7-8 tanks threw it. the motor starts soo easy and is wicked fast!
but when he tried running it on a rocky road, a rock cut a rear tire. oh, and he broke the rear of the body off a jump. i said "did you put duct tape in the body?" he goes " yes, just not on the part where it broke"...lol
he loves the truck. and im amazed how well it handles.
between our RCs, we just placed an order for $50 worth of parts, thats the price we pay for a great day of RC fun[>:]
