Not a chance :-/ and I thought that having 33% burns to my body was bad when I set myself in fire by accident :-0 this was no better :-/ now I tend to leave it for a while before I think about pickin it up ;-)

Yeah Steb must've hurt a fair bit, had some nasty electric shocks in my short life, not the nicest thing in the world!

Stripped HUNTERs baja down to get to the coil pack to find out why it wouldnt start.

Then remembered to turn the killswitch off

lol i was going to strip mine down when i had no radio gear and still had the battle switch in thank good i did not

Think we have all done the killswitch trick before I know I have!

We also convinced ourselves that Mark's Baja had a bad plug as it wouldn't spark. Swapped it over to mine, and sure enough no spark there. Dead plug. No...I had my radio gear switched off

Also managed to frazzle 3 sets of MCD gears before I realised the centre layshaft bearings were shot.

Or...my personal favourite....

Givin the Savage a complete strip and overhaul, rebuilding it with everything threadlocked and tidy...only to spot the brake disc sitting on the bench when I had 'finished'.

Mind you...when I put the bearing kit in the lads little Carson leccy thing I rebuilt it without putting any of the dogbones in .... had put them in a little packet safe and sound.....and there they still were. Start again......

testin the hifg speed needle while holding it off the ground from the wing.loasdfs off mud on tyres...throttle...loads of mud on face!

When I first got mine, I though it would be a good idea give it a full strip down and clean. On the re-build I decided to pull out my trusty threadlock and give all the metal-on-metal threads the full treatment  


However I forgot to take into account that the RED stuff is best used on large bolts where torque wrenches are used, and not the small HPI  monkey metal screws as I found out when separating them again

leaving my RX switched on same day i was away from home for a few days. Go out today battery completely flat try and charge it but supposedly take 5000mah but is only reading 6v. Now vapex arent selling any 5000mAH hump pack batteries and dont want to spend £30 on any other make

[flippychris]

got run down by my own baja because i was busy doing the stearing trim at half throttle   and also the faithful trick of knowing my failsafe works

[wulbo]

No fail safe, no killswitch, no common sense. I hooked up a selection of nearly dead batterie's to my fg and took it for a spin   It took off full speed, across the park, through some fence gates and done the tango with some trees   Only a few hour's earlier i had my rear end smashed at the traffic lights by an uninsured woman. 1 rear end wrecked + 1 front end demolished = 1 bad day.
