villain stories. . .?

[CChase86]

anybody out there got any good villain stories - crashes, sinks, flips, anything?

guess its not that popular of a boat - but if you own one - im sure you'll disagree.

i have one to start - i was driving along during the summer at the lake on a wavy day. also windy. didnt think much of it 'cause i've taken my villain in 3 foot breakers w/ no problems. today was different than other days. i have a sailboat too and know about wind - but not like this. the villain was in the air pretty high going like 28 (its extensively hopped up), the wind came and flipped my boat vertical, it plunked in back first, and started the evil backstroke. needless to say i was in the water pretty fast. thought it was dead - but after some t.l.c the only lasting problems were rusty motor cans - easily cleaned

its a dam reliable boat, and so are traxxas electronics - it was a miracle

anyone else?

I guess I could say crashing it headlong into a cement wharf when radio messed.Not a big problem, it floated with a small scratch. But its winter now and so no new stories

I was at a semi local large lake. It is one that you can't see across. It was just done raining and the wind was at 33mph. The wave were at least 3.5 feet at the tip of the break. I decided to take the Villian out for a test run. (yes test run, my first time ever driving it) The second I stated driving it it was getting airborn every wave. I had the water cooling system in stalled and when I got it back to shore there was no sogn of water it the system(I guss I wasn't in the water enough? http://www.traxxas.com/ubb/biggrin.gif
