I've seen worse.
1. When you find your wrist pin laying on the track, you know you F'ed up.
2. When even your throttle servo is in multiple pieces, you know you F'ed up.
3. When you think you fixed everything after a hard crash but the car still doesn't handle. You rebuild the car again during the week only to find that the only arm on the car that didn't break (and so wasn't replaced) is actually bent. Yes bent but not broke plastic arm, you know you F'ed up.
4. When everyone who finds a part on the track asks if it is yours first, you know you F'ed up.
5. When you not only have to buy parts for your car but also have to pay for a new window in the store across the parking lot, you know you F'ed up.

I feel your pain.
A couple years ago I was running a new 8b, werks b7 pro and 2013 at leisure hours.
I lost battery connection going down the straight.
I hit the cinder block wall square on at full song.
There was nothing left and I think the marshal that was standing there pee'd down his leg, lol.
lesson learned, stronger return spring needed.

LOL. Love it. I got one, I got one. Kind of like the runaway wingracer described.
1. When you have to replace the aluminum garage door across the street cause your T-maxx batteries weren't charged, you know you F'ed up.
Apparently Integy aluminum bulkheads are tougher than aluminum garage doors. Nasty hole in that door!!!

This thread is getting pretty funny !
I thought I was going to have a run away today. Truggy jumped forward at WOT and then the fail safe kicked in. Damm radio does stuff like that sometimes. Guess thats what I get for buying used stuff.

Funny thread
At my local track (Loganville RC) a month or so ago a RC8 went straight WIDE OPEN into a solid wall of creosote railroad timbers
it was not salvagable
I saw another buggy runaway and jump a large berm into the woods runaway.
I have always been super anal retentitive about failsafes and if my radio system didnt have one then I would run an external one.
My M11x has a pretty sweet multiple failsafes
