running a 44 inch deep V with a 65 cc nitro boat I sank it in a turn. got it back and the battery box was flooded. (NO BIGGIE) blew it out, put it back together started the thing up . launched it and it went wide open straight in to a 60 foot sale boat, about 14 inches of the boat was sticking in the guys hull. that one cost me big time... 4 grand to repair the guys boat, that was in 1972. wonder what it would cost these days...( never mind ) cant afford it. my losi's are bankrupting me now

My worst mistake ever was buying a T-maxx. Sitting in the closet as we speak. 2.5 gallons on it after 4 years.
