my mate turned on his TT-01 before his transmitter.
This caused it to get interference and launch off the table at full speed and into some guys nuts, needless to say he needed to sit down

A few years back I got a brand new Nitro Rustler 2.5 and my grass was slightly wet. Ran it anyway. The throttle servo got stuck wide open and steering went also. Ended up hitting a wall at about 40, and it kept running into the wall, destroying the entire front end, both servos, and melting the entire tranny. So much for my brand new truck

and my e-maxx. A screw fell out of the front tie rod. I had no steering. I hit a car going about 30 mph. I broke a skid plate, 2 bulk heads, a axle, and lost a center cvd.

RE: your worst crash or outta controll rc
I custom built a Funny car to try the drag racing scene. the set up i had didnt have a speed control what it did was a servo moved and flipped a switch that ran the batteries strait to the motor, used a custom made 3000 matched 10 cell to a 7 turn double. I went to test it out infront of my house and the car took off the best i had ever seen, then it happend, the sevo batteries took a crap and i couldnt shut it off, the funny car ran into a neighbors car at about 70+ MPH, When i got over there i noticed that the car had wedged itself under the tire. I had to ask him to move his car so i could get my car out from undernieth his tire, well that car was done and never tried to make another one.

RE: your worst crash or outta controll rc
I was being stupid. I gave my friend the opportunity to drive my rustler (XL-5/brushed motor) with a lipo in it. Friend took it on a full speed test run (about 35-40) heading directly toward us. He didn't stop in time and it crashed into a bike. It bent the turnbuckles and front knuckles, the suspension arms also snapped. It was a pretty bad crash. But it was my fault and I learned my lesson.

Lesson of the story is not to drive rc cars when its getting dark out.

RE: your worst crash or outta controll rc
well my worst model failure was my 28cc gas powered airboat.
i didn't extend the antenna on an AM radio and i had no failsafe.
so while in the park (these boats are amfibious) it went WOT right across the park, hit the path and jumped it, into the skate park hit a ramp off to the side and fliped upsidedown, basicly total carnage!!!!
but my worst rc car accident included am radio + wet carpark and som random guys car[]

My friend likes to stand right in the middle of the street while driving his r/c's and well lets just say I hit him at about 45mph with my old brushless rustler. Thank god only the tire clipped him or something seriously bad coulda happened. The rustler wasnt so fortune though... Broken A-arm, camberlink, turnbuckle, cracked rim, shattered bearing.

Post GTB 3.5, pre-Spektrum radio, my buddies XXX-S decided to shoot across the parking lot, slam into the curb and cause carnage. We both got Spektrums the next day. Only $40 worth of damage or so, but it was impressive.
