killerpiller Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Oh well, just popped my cherry and crashed my nice new shiny Carson Dazzler, away it went into a fence, I turned it on the grass and it span out hit the fence, and now have new lower arms on order off the web... Oh bugger. Hey ho, guess that'll teach me to go on the grass in the garden in the wet, was only running it in still too :blush::blush::blush::blush::blush: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zizzle77 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Its going to happen sometime for everyone lol! Could have been a lot worse though! The most damage I've done to my car was hit a rock at top speed, it was hidden in the grass, it flipped the car over a few times, luckily the only damage was a small dent in the chassis!

killerpiller Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share Posted January 4, 2008 Thought you might like to see the picture I took of the damage, I suppose in the grand scheme of things it aint too bad, just frustrating, and I suppsoe it could have been a lot worse. On the upside at least I now know how to strip the front end of the car and put it back together again £7 and have now learnt not to drive it in the Garden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shane Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 On the upside at least I now know how to strip the front end of the car and put it back together again like you... i think if you have a smack, and repair it yourself you learn the working on the part you repair and isn,t that hard.....but to build a kit car from scratch would fry my brain lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyLad Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 (edited) Its a standing joke in my house - If we take the RC cars out, they come back broke! Before the trip this is what my Stampede looked like: And the result of an outing to a local skate park. 1 Traxxas Stampede in a biscuit tin :rolleyes: Drive it like you stole it!! :ph34r: Edited January 5, 2008 by HappyLad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
