40mph+Lightpost=pieces
 

I took my TL XXX-S out for its first run today with its Mamba 7700 system in it. It ran great, i secured my handheld GPS to it and ran some speed runs with it and it topped at 40mph with the gearing i had.

On my final run today, i had the car topped out and as i was about to turn the car and bring it back the battery shut down and the car hit a light post at full speed:cry:

Time to buy some new parts:nod:

That Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!

got any vids?

That is intense. Better than the time I made a 6 foot high half pipe from a piece of sagged MDF and jumped it with my 18T.:lol:

No, but after i fix this, probably tomarrow, i will definately take a video and hope for a clean run:D

I learned graphite is very brittle. Its hard to see in the pic, but the front/right arm cracked, the left/rear arm cracked and the chassis cracked.

You say time for some new parts....It looks like it's time for a new car as that one seems to be what is left of your previous one.

And what did the poor innocent lamppost look like?;)

The car isn't broken, it just lacks duct tape...:D

man, lamp posts are evil... the car looks like a shark bit it.... ouch...

ouch that would of hit hard. yeah the xxx-s is a very brittle car, like a pencil

Looks like the front bumper survived, even though the rest of the car looks like it's destroyed!

Did the shock shaft break on the front? usually the bumper bends back and breaks the shock shafts on impact with those cars.

Looks like it judging by the springs on the ground beside the car....

Well, it's time to upgraded!
