i decided to run my redcat volcano sv that has the s30 kit in it. it ran amazing until i decided to drive it full speed for the first time in MONTHS and ran it in to the back tire of my truck at 60mph. youd think it would totally wreck my truck but it only bent one of my shocks and separated the rim from the axle.
if you want to see pictures pm and ask for them..
very funny but very lucky

Are you trying to show us electric guys that your little nitro can do 60 mph and survive a crash? And then you want us to pm you for pics of it?
Who cares

How do you know it was doing 60? I ran my electric rustler into a car tire at 63mph. The gps was almost ruined. I had to pull and pull on the truck to get it out. The only damage was a bent lipo which was not bad, and a broken rim. I kept driving once I got it out from under the car.
