The "Broke" thread.

[streetracer]

I know there may have been a thread like this at one time, but here it is again. Post pics of your worst "Broke" R/C's. I had a pic of my truck in about more peices then there were in the kit to build it. Ile see if i can get it up-loaded.

[TRF Drive Hard]

Kyle, why start a new one? You know better... (waves finger at Kyle)

[cool head]

see if anyone can beat this one. even broke the carb right off the engine. this is a result of using a traxxas TQ radio. 80mph strait into a curb.

[Fluke]

i remember of a crash at the track,the engine came out of the car and was still running

[djgrom]

personally like the guy who leaned out his engine too much and ran a fuel line very close to the heatsink.......

[madforRC]

coolhead should of used a failsafe unless its a driver error

[cool head]

well there is one thing missing in the picture. that would be the battery pack. it was laying on the ground 60yrds back!. i dont use failsafes. i use airtronics radios for the past 3 yrs and have never had a runaway after that. i check my batteries before every run with a DVOM, and i make sure their secured to the chassi before ever driving one of my cars.

[madforRC]

Well at least you learnt a lesson and you will now make sure you wont have another expensive crash

That is admirable.

What WAS it?

[TC3Racer]

the first thing i thought when i saw that pic was.... "what the heck... 1/8th scale buggy wing?! Stadium truck tires?!" Whatever it is... props for making something that hit the 80mph mark!

[evaderstman]

I think it is a shumacher, but could be wrong.

[RCFUN2]

This is a pic that I like to stare at everyonce in a while (dont know why :p )

[EvaderRacer76]

OUCH!! How'd that happen?

[cool head]

it's a home made job with lots of traxxas rustler stuff and a picco .21.

[TimisTim]

Someone had said there was an original broke thread but I cant find it. Can someone link it?

[darncars]

not too bad for said speed! looks like a Picco-Omega xt-21

[-=ADA$=-]

Its Novarossi, theres NOVA on aside, and it has the red dough, also its modded version, you can see signature on mounting flange, it WAS expensive engine for sure

[streetracer]

Anything salvageable on the engine? Maybe you can rebuild it, with a new block.
But, dang, that......80MPH? woooow.

[newracer]

RCFUN2- same problem here

[tadium54]

ooh these are all great breaks guys. keep em coming!

hell no!
that was 4 yrs ago. although it looks much like the traxiated franken GT. that was a home made chassi with a omega/picco .21. i was a dumbass noob back then. didn't realize how important that battery pack and a quality radio were. 80% of that car was broken or bent. i had it running again the next day. but she was never the same. actually that trans is the same one i'm running in my GT.

Actually.. your picture doesnt even look close like the GT.. I dont get why he was sayin that.. I mean.. the chassis is blue.. the shock towers are way diffrent.. The layout is difrrent

[djgrom]

I broke my car once....in my dorm hall way trying to practice my drift turns...It does not have a left side anymore
