Default Hitting tires

two weaks ago just 2 hours from a race i was practicing and i jumped and landed unpside down and the throttle rod inn got off its place and the car went full throttle and the turnmarshall instead of turning it off he just flipped it back again and it crashed again at the curve and no one knew how to turn it off until finally some one shouted to step on the flywheel.

i thought that the engine was going to be unuseful but all that happened was that the clutch shoes came off and the differential broke, I fixed all that and just 5 minutes before the A main I ran a lap to see how it worked and the plastic thing that screws to throttel servo borke and it went full throttle again and it took the turnmarshalls like 20 sec.s to turn it off, i hurry to replace it and the car just kept on turning off when i braked, but i had to run like that and the car died at the middle of the race.

when i got home i realized that the car kept on dying because the clucht shoes came off on the second full throttle incident

i think i have the baddest luck of the world, also i had the best equipment of all, almost all people had rtr's and i had a factory team gt, hardcore titanium chassis, mt12 engine, m8 radio, etc

this just sucks, im reteiring for a while to see if bad luck goes away
