Runaway Savage Octane!!

I may look silly for having made this mistake, but perhaps it will save someone else from the same fate! If you swap out the throttle servo and have to reverse the controls on the transmitter, reset your failsafe!

NICE !!!!! did ya suffer damage from your faux pas ?

 

[Jam Racing 1]

sorry I see that damage.... guess it aint all that tough to me

 

[Wayne Delorme]

Yup! I'll be replacing an a-arm and the front skid plate. The cement curb won the battle.

 

[Jam Racing 1]

course a concrete curb is tougher than plastic and aluminum LOL

At the end of this vid is when it takes off... don't get to see the wipe out though. Good thing the traffic wasn't heavy!

 

[Jam Racing 1]

ya sometimes the learning curve with these things can be a bit steep.....

 

[Preacher_Ed]

Wow!! That hurts! Glad the damage wasn't more serious.

 

[Wayne Delorme]

Me too... it could have been run over by a semi, or it could have just kept going, driving into the horizon and I might never had found it! A $30-$40 mistake could have been a $1,000 mistake!

I cringed a bit seeing it take off. Looks like you came out of it pretty well if you just broke an a-arm and skid plate.
