Then i was at hobby town usa one day and the people that were working there was talking about he took it on the Interstate had his buddy drive and he hung out the window driving the R/C infront of the car!!!

I flew a rc plane from my buddys convertable, it was a sig fazer with a .40 4 stroke,i sat on top of the back seat while my buddy drove, it was on a very little used road, after doing this awhile i was able to keep the plane about 10 feet in front and about 5 feet higher then the hood of the car i had the plane topped out at 45 mph by the cars speedo, the plane being as slow as it was made it easer to do this, it was kinda a reckless stunt but the only real problem i had was that i was laughing so hard and the wind blast was making the antenna whip back and kept hitting me in the face, its a wonder that i didn't fall out of the car.

On a race day, some old guy just bought a tmaxx, adn he had it out in the parking lot... so he was trying to make it go forward and backwards etc.. BUT he didnt have his antenna up, so when he got out of range it took off on him, and went across 4 or 6 lanes of fairly busy trafic.. It flipped over in a ditch on the other side of the road.(it made it across the road)

My friend used a Lexan ramp and jumped his car 100 feet and about 15 feet high. The stupid part is that it was his onroad touring car!

I was tesin out my 4-cell battery box that came with my villian, so it was a traxxas one.They have the switches soldered on the end of the wires coming off the batterys, then go to the plug thing for the reciver.. Well the bad part was that on the switch the red and black wires were close enough that they could (and were) touch(ing)......

So now my question is who here has smelled burrning plastic. heh....
