What happens when your r/c falls from a cliff.
#1
Destroyed my super today.:lol: Rolled off a cliff at Devils lake state park in WI

Looks like an innocent enough down hill ledge.

That is till the truck cart wheeled up on the front wheels, launching the truck over the edge.:lol:

See that brownish area, yeah it hit there hard then kept rolling down the hill out of view. Dead fall was at least 30 ft, the truck then cart wheeled at least 20.:lol:

hmm...

Tore the battery mount clean off the axle tearing the 1/16 alum tabs and ripping the screws off. All the zipties used to hold the wires on the back were ripped off.

Huh? Tore the alum horn right off.

Broke a rod end to, amazing how that was all that broke! I thought she was a goner for sure. Servo gear train still sounds smooth, got to love titanium gears. Time will tell if I broke other stuff. I will have it going by this weekend, hopefully.

Now were you alone or with others when you got to do the hike of shame? hahahaha...

Wow that sucks and is hilarious all at the same time. Glad to see only $20 in parts broke on there.
