This is what happens when xmod gets gpm'd.

It got sooo much heavier with addition of gpm parts (all drivetrain and suspension parts).
I think it could be dangerous with properly added power :twisted:
P.S. in pic 2, a spot where it hit can be seen. Car's position is photographed as is, where it landed :shock:

Awesome. :-D

The way it's wrecked, it looks like a miniature version of a real wrecked car. Congrats. :lol:

Was either that or cry.

Watch out for those bumps in the road.

Wow, who would have thought, RC car crashes to simulate real car crashes!
I think you just came up with a new sport idea!

Does look like a real crash. Looks like you need some super glue now.

Like the dude said ^^ :lol: that's exactly what I thought.
It looks like it happened, all too real. Car just stopped. Dead.
I just happened to have a camera with me (I was shooting something else).
I was amazed myself, nothing like that ever happen to an RC. Usually they bounce around :-D
Thanks for the comments :cool:
It actually would be interesting to see pics of wrecked "cars".

P.S. btw that front clip is done/gone beyond repair. I gots spare 8-)

Man, I know they claimed to be realistic, but RadioHack really nailed it this time! That destroied front clip looks really lifelike. Now just throw in a 1/28 scale guy crying over it... :-D

That really sucks, hope it's not too far gone.

Nah, it's not gone. Actually it gave a reason to rebuild :grin:
Now it is a Rally car.
Here is the fix, I got a plate so it wont get damaged like that.

Also I noticed as it gets dirty/sandy, car would not steer (due to binding of tie rod against its cover). After some poking around, I found a solution. Here it is,
smaller plate set at an angle to minimize contact patch.

It is much better now.

Looks sweet! I wish I had the time and money!

I love the skid pad! Can't wait to see the finished product! :-)
