Default Strange Damage

The other day I was driving my NEST around in my street having a good time. I wasn't paying attention for a second and the next thing I know my truck is airborne! I had accidentally launched off the curb and it flipped into a small fence in my neighbor's yard.

I flipped it back over and it looks okay but when I gave it throttle nothing happened. Turns out I crashed into the fence just right and broke a arm off the throttle servo horn. No problem, I just rotated it and used one of the extras.

That was definitely the strangest crash I've ever had, please share yours!

LOL Reminds me of when I was going full throttle in the street and lost traction. Headed for the curb and hit it at an angle which launched it into the air. Smacked a tree 15 feet away and cracked the rear shock tower. It was like watching it in slow motion.
