THanks, yes it makes a ton of noise, and my spur was also stripped.

OK worst crashes gotta couple for yah. My rustler xl5 pre brushless hit an electric box about 40 feet away. Couldnt really see the damge until I drove my new 3 wheel rustler back towards me. After that I bought every part that RPM makes (highly recommended). My old p.o.s warhead took a concrtete parking stop at full throttle breakin the bulkheads, 1 servo, and battery box. Also bent up the chassis. My dad took his tmaxx into a mailbox at full throttle second gear!! Only thing I remember is a slow motion explosion of a arms, turnbuckles and rim kinda cool actually. Always remember accidents will happen and when they do upgrade.

In my Revo i did a back flip and landed perfectly up-side down. That's how i snapped the crank case in half on my O.S. 18TM

this is EXACTLY why i refuse to go nitro. unless you get a heavy roll cage theres really nothing protecting the *probably* most expensive part of your investment

okay back on topic now....my worst crash...

I would have to say doin about 50 in to a steel pole in a lot. broke the front bulkhead, both c-blocks, kingpins in the c-blocks bent like hell, hinge pins, both a arms (only one snapped, the other one the hinge pins ripped through the hole), chassis snapped in half and yeah...bad crash only thing working was the rear

I ran my dads genesis into a tell-a-phone pole at about 45 MPH. He on the other hand crashes WAY more often I do, lets see he ran it into the house, into a car, into himself (ouch!) into our light pole in the front yard, and a few others.
