My nitro Sport once went out of control, crashed into my house, putting a big dent in the skirt of the house, I'd say my nitro SPort hit it at like 40mph. I had to get anew bumper, new front shocks, new body, New front axles, Frontshock tower, new coolign head (teh old one lit up in fire), new Pipe, New Tires and wheelz. Damage cost, about $300/ I was stupid to do that. iwasted $400 repairing it when I say Traxxas RTR **** . Especially Nitro Sport.

i was once driving my tc3 with a 8 cell battery and 10turn sonic 2 motor and i think it was going about 60mph and the tires are old so the front tires severed from the glue and i couldn't turn and booooom right into the curb a 90 degree angle curb. guess what nothing happened to it. my car didn't break a thing theres no damage it runs the same.

I slamed my T-maxx into a tree once when it lost contact to my radio while it was going 30mph. I broke the bumper mounts and bulk head and even bent the aluminum bumpers all to heck so It was about a 60$ crash.

i've seen cars at my local track go down the straight full throttle and then a newbie comes around the track the wrong way at the straight away with a mod motor probly a 10t and hit the other guy head on at full throttle so its like a 70mph impact and they messed up both of their cars.

I took my truck out cuz i was bored. I have a 12x3 motor and i was going down hill. Well a car came and i went to the side of the road going way to fast like 40 hit the curb filped 3 times and. At the end i needed a new body, rims, right front A arm, right front shock, shock tower, and others. I would have rather see the car run over it cuz of how much money it cost to fix.

TC3 McLaren F1 your name is Tony/Anthony right? That happened at our track, but my car only broke a ballcup, and his was pretty messed up. I felt bad because cuz he was going to go through the short cut past that big jump, but he didnt know my GT was coming. I dont remember what he broke, but it was a HARD impact. Suprised nothing more than a ballcup broke on my car though. Especially because my car was flying. I eventually had to replace the front mini bumper because it finally broke, even though it was bent after that impact I didnt replace it. But going off a jump and landing in the street with my cars nose hitting first and then my car flipping back over broke the bunper in half. GT's are strong, didnt even bend the chassis.
