1:8 custom back to 1:10 scale pede... (mega ticked off)

[mdlopez1]

wrecked bad.... was nearly a total loss.... pulled all my spare parts because because of upgrades and was able to rebuild the 1:10 stampede... was able salvage motor, esc, spoiler, cage mainly the back half of truck.

to help save face (since you are a member here)...i will be vague but make my point.... well, family member one, was having fun "egg-n" on family member 2 with my (how was it said) "super fast RC"... well, Fam 1 lost control and crashed in to fam#2....

problem: fam#2 was driving a 54" ridding mower... sorry no vid wanted to kept his shallow grave a secret... (kidding) the fact that you "pede" (pun intended) your pants when you saw my face and you know that I will have my revenge soon keeps a smile on my face and your shorts damp....

NEED/WANT INPUT:
Looking for suggestions on new "project" since I have the chance to be creative again... please share.

what did you have before?

"What" is all that comes to mind.

Someone in his family who is a member on here broke his truck by running into and probably under a 54 inch lawnmower. He had an 1/8th scale Pede that is now 1/10th scale from the rebuild and wants a cool project to re-build once again.

I'd make them pay $ until it was fixed.

I understood what he said, but what was still what came to mind.

I think I would be asking for a little compensation on the crash. By the way, that is one NASTY looking Pede!

Thats a tough one to swallow. I'm grieving for you! Sometimes when I let others grab the remote I cring inside thinking I hope this goes well. I feel for you!

No permission was given by me... To young to ask for money (no job yet)... I'm thinking of ways to "work"it off

hide your remote when not in use and lawnwork/dishes/house cleaning/yardwork/painting a wall/cleaning the bathroom/cleaning the garage/being your maid::set values to all of these or just a time like 6months and when he reaches it your paid or make the parents pay::which is the legal way if he is under 18 parents are responsible for cost similar to if he broke a window

i'm going to teach accountability through blood sweat and tears... I have five acres of land... job one is cutting the grass for the next month with my old 18 inch push mower... ( I cut my grass about every 3-5 days on my 54 inch riding mower because its more lake weed than grass...) still working in other items.

ooo sounds good

[Dknuckles]

That is really terrible when kids or even adults use items without permission. Especially when it's something dear to you and it gets destroyed!

[NewbieToTraxxas]

(not that it applies here but)when someone wants to drive mine i reach down and program the esc to training mode and i use the least powerful battery...

[mdlopez1]

i'm more upset about the use without permission than anything else... the damage, I have done almost the same amount of damage in my normal use and doing something stupidly fun... Helicopter drops (like skiers do), jump off a 30 foot drop, crash into a parked bulldozer or a hit a no trespassing sign at top speed, etc...

If he had asked I probably would have hi-fived him for finding a new way to BYT... issue was with the madmax set-up I can easily do 40+MPH if that hit my 3 year daughter it probably would break a bone since it hit hard enough to dent the steel cutting deck on a mower....
