the tvp's are still good that was wone of the first things i checked upon tear down. Their is a good chance she won't be running the trucks for alittle while.

shes probably scared !!!!!!!
Very nice damage, give her some time, remember we all started some where. I let my wife drive any time she wants, if she breaks something-so what- I usually get lovey-dovey treatment for awhile and oddly enough I like wrenching more than driving, so when something breaks-time to tinker and upgrade.
Look at this way she can't have a fit about the money spent to fix it...she broke it. :hardlaugh:
Finding a wife or girlfriend that shares the same R/C interest is not an easy feat, so be sure to treat her good and keep her around. Can never have to many bashing buddies.
If you need some parts let me know, I might have some.

I found the easiest way is to buy the wife her own! That's what I did...she has a great time and doesn't wreck mine (well, of course that is except for when she runs hers into mine...lol)!! Easiest fix I can think of anyway.
That is a good idea in theory. But their is a down side to that . It is hard enough to keep the two savys and jato up and running let alone try to keep hers going. Easier and cheaper just let her bash mine. Gives me a reason to hop it up.LOL
I will be selling my purple hpi tuned pipe so uh....yeah.....you may need one. Mine is darn near mint.

That's why it's always best to buy her her own! Also when she's not looking you've got back up parts!:stickspank:

That depends on what she keeps breaking on yours - LOL! I've been lucky so far - my wife hasn't really broken anything on hers since I got it for her...although she's still learning how to drive it, so she's been taking it pretty easy on it so far.
shes not one to take it easy on the trucks as you can tell. She is more like drive it like you stole it.lol

I agree with thrasher6 about letting your wife/girlfriend have her own truck. I have my savage X for me then we bought two used Savages on E-Bay. So she has her own that she rarely crashes and we still have one extra for when one of them brakes or should I say for when I brake mine!

It is of course expensive no matter which way you go...lol. At least my wife is much easier on hers than I am on mine. All I know for sure is that I'm glad I went with a Savage when I got into the hobby, because I don't think there's much else out there that would hold up to the kind of beating that I give it. I can't believe what kind of stuff the savage will take (and mine's more stock than anything).
I am glade that my wife is starting to get into the hobby and the bright side to this little mishap is that i am getting some nice new parts!!!!!!!!!!

I totally agree. I love that my wife is getting into the hobby - it gives me more of a chance to run my savy. Before I got her one of her own, it was hell trying to get out there and run mine. Now she's got a reason to want to go with me and have fun herself.
my wife gets it from both sides if im not talking about cars then my 2 year old is running around screaming cars

Allow me to put this into perspective.
Your wife is cool! She drives your trucks and has fun.
Several of my buddies at the club do not have wives like that. Their wives actively HATE everything having to do with their hobby. One wife in particular took advantage of her hubby being away on business and gave away all his R/C stuff. All of it. Its gone. This is the kind of thing that can end it.
So, your wife is cool.
I feel lucky because my wife is okay with it and R/C stuff keep my sons interested in something besides TV and video games.
If my wife ever did that i would not have to worrie about her anymore cause i would not have a wife

wow man if thats the case pull out in front of her. while shes has the truck wide open throttle. That's what I would do.
ah, she did a good job.
theres a way to fix that pipe if u didnt already toss it.
seal it after filling it with water, toss it in the freezer
