Ran off the road at 112mph and hit a drainage embankment. Jumped about 50' up and cleared an easy 75'. This is what happens when you try to go fast, accidents will happen. I will be back, stronger and faster.
"You gotta pay to play...." I like your attitude, sir. My tagline is "Fly, fix, fly." I hope you get back on your feet soon. It was looking pretty nice until.. you know. I've had some good wrecks, but you've got me beat. Can't wait to see you come back with more good stuff.
Sorry for ur loss... But that was epic. Too bad u didn't get the "flight" on video. But pick up the good pieces and rebuild. That's the beauty of this hobby....
Part of the game man, Be thankful that thing didn't veer off and hit you. Would've been you in pieces on the ground bro. I'm sure you'll come back stronger and even faster!
I slammed into a concrete curbside with my Redcat Volcano EPX pro doing a speed run. Was running a stock 3300kv brushless motor with a 6200mah 2s 80c lipo battery. Yeah so I know that feeling dude
That was one hell of crash it took. I expected to see more damage then that. I do hope u get it back together. I do have 1 question, What GPS meters are you using. I would like same ones as i know they can take a beating.
u called it on the first run. when something don't seem right, its better not to take any chances. but the second run was crazy fast it sounded louder then the car driving past before first run
I gave u thumb up for speed but not because the wreck awesome truck though u running 8s? on tork 2200?, ive got a tc3 and have been trying too get into triple digits but where i run i think the road is my problem cause when i run somewhere else with less runaway urggh it drives straight but otherwise the parkway in the nc mtns it dont track straight at all but may be those hpi xpattern tires so i got set of contact foams coming hope that helps and i can setup my alignment too.
How are you so chilled about this? If I'd put that much money, time and effort into a really nice RC seeing it in 7 sections would make me just stop and shout some choice words into the atmosphere very loudly
+Robert Deford hahah you're hilarious. if those were alloy parts they would all be bent and trashed too. and the original cost is 10x as much. Plastic is the best for RC cars
I would say the coolest crash ever lol. Rebuild it bro. She's a beast!

Ill be back, and ill go faster, I always do
That was epic! hopefully all the electronics survived.
They did
yChad Andersen ree
have you tried turning it off and on again?
I´m just kidding, i´m sorry for your car however this speed was very impressive.
KTM maniac lol
That was pretty wild, "Yardsale" we used to call it back in the day. Its worth it for the video!
we will blame the steering trim for this one lol
Well,rebuild and do it again. awesome hpi." your one of the best"
Sorry for ur loss... But that was epic. Too bad u didn't get the "flight" on video. But pick up the good pieces and rebuild. That's the beauty of this hobby....
Wow bro still awesome numbers good run
At least it didn't go into the drain pipe there. I don't think you'd ever get it back.
hahaha good one. Thats what I thought
Well it does have an opening, hydro planing through to the other side would be awesome, some fire would make it good too!
My Condolences. Well if your going to do it, do it well :D I cant wait to see the new improved version.
great video man!
I know the feeling to walk down the road and pick up all your pieces "it sucks" but you made it fun man keep posting videos!
Usually you run for some reason it's as if you wanna see the disaster as quick as possible. The hobby stores are usually happy when this happens
Wow thats hard but I like your attitude keep RCING my friend
That was crazy bro!! Wow good speed though
You have a great attitude...never lose that....I might have had a few bleeps if it was my video
Thanks dude, accidents will happen just have to accept that and life is good :)
Wow, well you do it big when you go their bro, One Luv!
Part of the game man, Be thankful that thing didn't veer off and hit you. Would've been you in pieces on the ground bro. I'm sure you'll come back stronger and even faster!
Thank you for hd filming.
It's mangled !!but dude that was awesome !! Rebuild a rerun that beast!! Peace bro
Good run except for the crash. At least you got a nice speed of 112mph .
I slammed into a concrete curbside with my Redcat Volcano EPX pro doing a speed run. Was running a stock 3300kv brushless motor with a 6200mah 2s 80c lipo battery. Yeah so I know that feeling dude
Thanks god the body is safe
Awesome. Although I can't help but wonder what kind of damage that wouldve done to a stray cow or something.....it was almost perfect dude!!! ;-)
That was one hell of crash it took. I expected to see more damage then that. I do hope u get it back together. I do have 1 question, What GPS meters are you using. I would like same ones as i know they can take a beating.
Garmin forerunner 101, 201, or 301 is the GPS I use.
What up LL, that was friggin awesome. Great job and you do have a good attitude I just hope your bank account is as good. LOL!
bank account is running on fumes lol
You really made a powerful RC even more powerful, it needs a wheelie bar! BTW, is that a firestorm flux?
u called it on the first run. when something don't seem right, its better not to take any chances. but the second run was crazy fast it sounded louder then the car driving past before first run

Unlucky bro i just got an efirestorm
You gotta pay to play,you got it bud.That was crazy.Electronics seem fine but you would need some parts.
Nice numbers and crashing is a part of the hobby. At least it didn't shoot into that water pipe.
Have you heard anything from the FAA about flying a drone in a controlled airspace? lol
Dramatic run :D
Pretty shocking none of those LiPos got pierced.
In some ways, quite lucky, glad the electrics all survived though.
so, just out of curiosity, did you ever get another chassis? How much money would it cost to repair it?
That sucks man... Did you end up fixing it? if so? how much was it? thanks!
Life changes so drastically so whats to blame u or the car?
That gearing tho 😱😱
rebuild! how much did it cost you to change all the broken parts?
Decimates his car at 112 miles per hour, still has all of his cotter pins.
I roll my rustler ever so slightly..boOM THEY ARE ALL MAGICALLY GONE FFFFF-
how did you make it go so fast
Crazy glue and some zip ties, she will be good to go!
damn bro !!good run!!!
Good thing you caught that on video!!! If you did not film that, that crash would have been a total waste!!!
How are you so chilled about this? If I'd put that much money, time and effort into a really nice RC seeing it in 7 sections would make me just stop and shout some choice words into the atmosphere very loudly
You get used to it
What battery do you run
what kind of spur gear?
One Luv!
Gutted bro. Did you salvage much from it?
Neomax25
Everything is good minus the chassis, trans case. right front a arm, everything else is good. It looked worse than it was
LLkoolskillet2
Good deal my friend, could have been worse for sure.
mtctookie25
Rebuilding is what we do, only to become better.
man that was not fun to watch bro, sorry about the crash my friend
That's was nasty bro!!! Good numbers though
Did this thing ever drive again?
Yes but it blows the tires up every run it makes lol
How can you see that
R.I.P.

If you would have upgraded this you would have had no problems metal or rpm parts of great
Its got plenty on RPM and STR racing alloy parts, it was just a very bad crash lol
Aaand this is why you don't use plastic parts :P
+Robert Deford hahah you're hilarious. if those were alloy parts they would all be bent and trashed too. and the original cost is 10x as much. Plastic is the best for RC cars
i loled
wow the inside dident get destroyed so u just need to buy a new body
40 Feet of air don't think so 15 maybe 40 feet what ever
2:03
