I had a truck doing 40 go by my leg so close I had oil on my shoe! I about crapped my pants. Never even saw it coming from behind and thenn WHHOOOSSH right by. That would have knocked me down, for sure. Now it's just another fond memory of the greatest RC day of my life.

Who's truck was that went WOT and flew into the curb? I talked to guy but cant remember who it was, freaked me out though I couldnt see it, I only heard it.

Actually, it was a Mayhem buggy. This is the guy, but without his hat.

Me and my bud had to catch some sky when that buggy went rogue. I saw it coming but thought the driver had control until I heard the "RUN AWAY". Although I believe Jeff was more concerned about his STI then his LEG.

I felt a "moment of silence" was needed to honor the buggy after hearing and seeing it hit the curb.


BTW what needed replacing?

I had a good time would have had a nicer time if the stupid azz pull starter didnt break on the savvy thanks to xtribe00 aka dan jones for the help all day. Buy the way i called hpi about the pull starter they are going to send me another one for free, yes i said for free. I had to run the storm with bald tires. i will be ready next time. T :mad: ex your the man chopped and screwed....................

05savage4.6,

I remember seeing you almost got your savage started and Boom! the pull start break. That really suck!

I am no better than you. My rear diff crap out on the first jump

i broke 3 rear arms on the jato, striped 3 spur gears on the revo, broke a ball end on the mgt. i think i got off easy for the beating i unleashed on my trucks

hey trip!! big props again!! you do good in the organizing spot light.

hey thanks man!

Damage report:

- one hex pin, bent the shock tower and trashed the body on my T-Maxx.
- A blown center drive shaft on the Revo.
- One broken shock end, busted wing mount, cracked a rear arm and a blown out wheel center on the Truggy.

Overall, not that bad...especially happy with the Truggy beatings!!

My damage report for all who care lol...

Revo-Busted shock end, pickup 3 good and one shock needing an end from Mr Tune (thanks again)

Screwed pull start- have no clue how this happened. I figure it got wrapped around the axle and got pulled out...Won't go back in by hand now. I'll see if the oneway just got trashed tommrow mabye...

Wow, that's it I think....My electronics actually didn't crap out on me like I thought they did after nothing happened after one race, but the pack just dumped all of a sudden. Thankfully I didn't have a runaway during the race...Woah that would have been bad...

I broke the little silver pin that holds the forward only gear on the shaft in my tranny...pin just sheered in half... lost the forward only gears from the pin flopping around in the tranny case.

all fixed now and I'm ready to race! lol

My damage report-1 rear knuckle(WHICH I had at home and swapped it on in 10 minutes when I got home)

greevo damage report

3 broken a-arms from failed front flip attemps requested by the public.
1 broken pushrod.

My day stoppers....

Cen stripped the first gear spur (loose engine screws)
Revo stripped a spur (over-tightened slipper)
Revo disintegrated the reverse primary gear inside the transmission (switched to FOC)


Firesprink, Don't forget the bent upper turnbucle on the Jato

Damage:

Busted Wing Mount (Didn't actually break but the screws sheared off inside of it)
Clutch bearing (Decided to give out after losing to Michowski by a foot in the drags. Did a few cartwheels after we collided at the end)

damn i got off easy!!!!! yay for once my buggy wasn't the worst!

ryan, don't forget about the broken axles, lol. Didn't you shatter one?

o ya, forgot about that.

3 a-arms
pushrod
axle

all i did was lose a wheel nut at top speed.. thanks to thenewguy i got a new one and was able to run longer till my recever pack died.

My day stoppers:

Mid range needle on the K4.6 mysteriously turned itself in making the thing undrivable.
Clutch bell screw came out - hey I think I saw a screw on E-bay!
Tranny refused to shift

Ricky Carmichael's head got smashed in on the flip ramp

Replaced dogbone, retuned carb, but Ricky is headless.
