    What's the worse thing you have ran into.

    Well mine isn't what I ran to but it's what I hit. In my front yard there is this gap it goes from driveway to rocks into my neighbors drive way. Well I let off the throttle in the rocks to avoid a boulder well I didn't have enough speed and snapped the rear skid plate and chassis in half on my neighbors curb what's your worse thing you have hit or ran into and what you broke with your slash

    One time I was jumping the slash and I hit the ramp at a high speed and weird angle. The truck was supposed to land on the grass lawn, but it went diagonally across the sidewalk, onto the city section of lawn where there was a tree. Around tree were brick paver blocks, and of course, that was where it impacted. The right front caster, a-arm, and bearing carrier broke, along with the caster pin bending. That was not a fun day for the slash

    It was flying down my street (with my Backslash), the front end lifted and it took air and flipped on its roof. Then, it slid right over a speed hump went airborne again and hit the ground and kept sliding on its roof another 30ft! Luckily, the only thing damaged was the body and wing.

    that sounded painful...


    I have only manged to run underneath the gate at my Moms place. D-steel gate with field fence. Smashed the suspension down but no damage. Did NOT have the body on at the time. The loud CRASH sent the 22 ducks scattering for the pond..

    I hit my son.. He was 2 1/2 years old.. Not a bad high speed hit bit enough to make him cry.. He ran out to catch the truck as it was sliding to a stop.. I felt like turds..
    He's since returned the favor. He's 4 now and drives like he stole it.. Right into daddies ankle.

    I've almost taken myself out with my slash and have manage to remove my shins with my airborne e revo and knock my self flat on my face.

    My slash has hit just about everything I can think of except a 1:1 car. Generally don't like bashing around my truck or other peoples vehicles. #1 hit in number of broken parts was when I hit my buddies stampede head on at full tilt. The stampede was full RPM with an aluminium bulkhead and didn't even get a scratch.

    I was driving around a pool and I hit something like a 3 year old, I was going pretty slow, he only said "owww".

    but really, the worse thing I have hit.... was the pavement.. Doing 45-55 or so and it parachutes and lands un its roof, slides for about 20 feet.... :'( Most of the time, it just backflips which is REALLY COOL.

    It wasn't what I hit it was where I landed which was a creek I tried to jump with my first traxxas r/c the #6807 slash had it going from a packed dirt/gravel road to a jump that when i was normal just going from jump to grass i cleared 20ft easy with the 22/54 3s Lipo 5000mAh, but that day idk what it was but i jumped and landed smack in the middle of it and my slash sunk like a rock when i got it out a few minutes later it was covered in algae and had a frog trapped under the body after I cleaned it off and keep the frog as a pet and then took it apart to let it dry and replaced the battery connectors and put in a new batter there was a loud pop some smoke a bit of sizzling and alot of cussing I went ahead and bought a new kawasaki slash from and will use the ultimate as a project.
