i had just finished building my kyosho mp7 8th car so i took it for it's first run down the street (oh dear big mistake)
outside of my father-in-lews shop in north shields i blipped the throttle a few times until the tranny cells went flat.
without a fail safe fitted the car took off down the road making a bee line for the coop window
thankfully a rover 216 sitting at the junction stopped it in it's tracks
damage included chassis front shocks an os 21 engine and pipe front shock tower most of the plastic parts three drive shafts one center drive shaft and worst of all my pride
total repair cost £290 trade price
