I THOUGHT FAILSAFES WERE SUPPOSED TO PREVENT THIS!!!
Curb---> :pow: <-- T-Maxx

Full throttle (of course) up the hill...across the road...and not quite head on into the curb!!
But at least I missed the two cars!!


:ugh:




:ugh:






:ugh:



Damage Reoprt:
Severly bent chassis, broken contol arm, sheared bumper brackets, crushed front skid plate, broken hub carrier and blew beads on all four tires.

and thats the reason i dont use FAIL safes.....

thats a prity bad crash but ive had worse!!!

I have a fail safe, its called spektrum

I was going to put my Spektrum in tonight!! I figured I'd run it first for some kicks.
Some how it lost power to the reciever or at the switch cause the failsafe never kicked in.

How was the charge on the RX pack?

Rx charge was fresh...I think the problem seems to be in the switch. I moved it around some and everything worked fine again, including the failsafe.:confused:

that sucks. does the spektrum sailsage really work well????? and why is your fuel look purple does all fuel look like that

Ouch ... that sucks! hope you get it all fixed quick and easily.

switches suck.. None of my Nitros have switches. I replace the switch with thick RC motor wire and Big Deans connectors. To power the car on plug in the deans.. to shut it down unplug the deans. It stays tight and in 6 years I've never never had a problem with one going bad or comming loose.

diffrent fules are diff colers...some clear some pink some blue (that dye your P/s)

No quick fix for the chassis...it's tweaked bad! Even the front hybrid bulk is bent a little.

UE wouldn't have did that! I promise! j/k

That's a really bad wreck man, it ruined all kinds of expensive cool stuff.

towshen does have a failsafe, its breaking his spur gear every half tank to ensure he doesnt have a run away

man ever since i stopted running my maxx i have not blown a spur! + my savy and buggy both have steel ones....but that means nothing! :p:

you got a savy? Very nice, how do you like it.

its frigen sweet....other then the intergy pigy backs on it...
