I was showing my RS4 off to some friends and as I brought the car flying by I clipped a curb, sending the car cartwheeling and flipping right past everyone. Didn't really break anything major but notable for the front-row seat the crowd had.

one day i went to a hobby shop and i got a new motor for my B3. Later that day, after i broke my motor in, i took it for a drive. the tires were rotating so fast the rubber litterally flew off the rims. the very next day i took it out for another drive. i took it off a few jumps and got some killer air. anyways, i go to set up for this huge jump. BAM! im off. the car does crazy roosters. i hit the jump. while in the air the tires are still rotating. i hit the ground really hard. i take off again. when my car gets near my i hear a clunking sound. so i stopped my car and went to see what was wrong. nothing appearded to be wrong. so i continued to drive my car. i kept hearing that sound. the next think i know the car stopped on a dime. so i got really worried. i went home to check it out. the motor was so powerful that it had stripped the gears in the transmission. It is currently being repaired at a hobbyshop. costin be bout $100. The good thing is that nothing was wrong with the motor :)

my worst accident didnt really hurting my r/c. first of I was jumping my 2 foot high ramp with my t-maxx, i set it so that I could gap the whole side walk. i did a couple good jumps, then on the last jump, the truck flew so far that it hit my cousin walking by not paying attetion right in the gut. the truck was fine but my cousins gut wasnt:D

I forgot about this one.

Right before my first time racing, I spent hours painting a cool Eclipse with gradient flames and super-flaked clearcoat (about $75 worth of automotive grade paint) and tuning/polishing/greasing everything on my car. The day of the race, I showed up ready to go! 10 minutes into practice I've been T-boned and railroaded enough times that my paint was chipped and shattered in a half dozen places, my exhaust manifold was bent almost completely against the engine, I had 2 tie rods popped off and a missing dogbone, and a cracked front shock tower.

The kids were hacks, the practice session was more like the Special Olympics Indy 500. I never raced again, now I just drift in the parking lots with my friends. I actually use that Eclipse for drifting sometimes, I just slapped an HPI sticker anywhere the paint was chipping. It's quite the billboard now lol.

It didnt happen to me but my friend nick was driving around his RC10GT took it off a small jump full speed and it flew a little funny and end over end rolled it like 25 times all withough a lid.....

my worst crash would be either power sliding my rally into a truck or driving my T4 off a roof and snapping a arms both crashes...

Another story for you who are nice enough to pst your stories.

I was recently driving my TC3. I lost range on it while racing a normal car for fun. the car jolted to the right and nailed the front tire of the car i was raceing. nothing bad happened but i am definatly not doing that again.

This happened to me when i was around 8 years old. I had just bought my first RC car. It was a $100 Radioshack Road Phantom 4x4. The car was good for about 18mph. My neighbor wanted to see it, so i charged it up. Turns out that the steering trim was turned so the car went right right away. I nailed the throttle, and my car accidently went into the street where an old lady ran it over in her car. I picked up the bits of my car and i was crying. The damn lady just drove off. The car was totaled but we managed to get it replaced by the store owner because of all the trouble i had to go through. The crash didnt cost me anything because it was replaced for free, but it was a pretty traumatic experience. The moral is: Adjust your steering trim.

question... why would you jump a touring car..?

RE: crash,flames,motor melt downs,the works
 

Ok this one gets a 8 for being memorable even though it gets a 0 for damage.

Me and Haplomephisto were bashing at the church last week or so. We were racing across the lot, around the concrete island and then back. Haps XXXS came around the corner way too slow and started to head towards us. My RS4 Evo was hot on his tail at half throttle, I gunned it and it took off. I slammed the back end of the XXXS, came underneath it and slid out. Haps car launched in the air, did about a backflip and a 360 and came down on all fours. Not a bit of damage to either car. I'm lmao now thinking about it. I thought I was going to have to buy some Losi parts, it was a true testament to both cars durability.

A few days ago I took my xxx-t out to the backyard to drive. I turned on the transmitter, then Iturned on the receiver and my car zoomed off, down the hill and strait toward a tree. I was hitting the bbrakes and that didn't do a thing when I realized that someone(little brother I think)must have messed with the transmitter and the throttle trim got totally messed up and the thing was set on reverse. so I hit the throttle and the car stopped literally inches from the tree.[sm=stupid.gif]that must have been wht I looked like. the crash would have been fatal to the car.
