I did that too !!!!

this is way whenever i go out with a nitro car away from home/track, i bring a water bottle to flush my eyes out untill i can get to a sink. i think we all forget its pretty nasty stuff.[X(]

I guess I'm the only one that's never gotten nitro in their eyes clearing a flooded motor then. I suppose enjoying watching the geyser puts one's eyes at a safe angle from it.


I have managed to get a bad taste in my mouth priming before. I go for the "blow into pressure line" method, since the pipe I use doesn't have a nipple. Doesn't seal well enough to do the "plug-and-pull" method.

Cumquat wins. LOL[sm=bananahead.gif]

Dumbest thing ive done was about 3 weeks ago, I got a tc3 from a friend and was outside running it, got headed right at me and with no time to think i just decided to jump over it, well I didnt jump quick enough! It slamed into my right big toe at about 1\2- to 3\4 open throttle, it freaking HURT, peeled my toe nail back more than half way and busted it wide open, it bled like crazy. I played the man card really hard as i tried to pick it up and go back into the house while telling everyone Im ok, but on the inside i wanted to cry like a baby. I learned my lesson!

steel toed boots are your friend!

When I was a teenager I traded my motorcycle (dirt bike) for a large R/C plane. Took it out to a field near my home and took to the air, without any kind of instruction or experience whatsoever. I actually did pretty good and flew around a bit, but I destroyed it trying to land. That really sucked.

About 2 years ago I'd been wanting to get my wife into R/C so we took out my new 3905 E-Maxx and Slash w/VXL. We went to a big field with some large mounds of dirt to run them. Well my wife drove the E-Maxx and was having a blast, driving over the dirt hills and such. She kept saying how fun it was. I was driving the Slash and had my back turned to her and all of the sudden hear her yell out "Oh #$&%!. I turn around and can't see the E-Maxx, but see water being thrown into the air from the top of one of these mounds. It turns out there was a hole large enough to swallow an E-Maxx completely filled with water up there. I wasn't worried since the E-Maxx is waterproof but I guess I should have told my wife that little fact lol. Before I could say anything she ran up there to save the truck...... and sunk. It was watery mud and she sunk up to her thighs. I tried to get to her and got within about ten feet of her but didn't realize where I was about to step was also mud because it was covered with straw. I sunk up to my thighs as well, only I was in really thick mud. My Wife threw the E-Maxx out and then managed to crawl out herself. It took a while and it took every bit of strength I had to get myself out of that mud. For a minute I thought I was going to have to have my wife tie a rope to my truck and pull me out. When it was all over with we were both exhausted and we were covered in mud, as well as the interior of my truck, but we were laughing about it. It was scary when it happened but afterwards it was really funny lol.

Another REALLY dumd thing I done was to marry my ex wife, was married to her for 12 years, no kidds thank goodness. Morrale of the story is that its becouse of her I learned how to fly rc airplanes just so i could get away from her for the day, it trully was a love hate relationship! I hated her and loved my airplanes. I still think of her when i go flying and think thank goodness shes not around no moore.

wheres the guy that almost killed himself with a slash?

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AGREED!
