Worst I ever had was in 1996, racinmy RC10B2 at (I think) a Mtroniks Winter National.

Went round the corner to head onto the straight, started to throttle it, then I suddenlt realised I wasnt in control. The car went all the way down the straight, full speed, straight into one of the wooden benches.

Everyone just seemed to stop. After the race went over to my car to investigate. The cells shorted out against the graphite chasis, which shorted the speedo and got stuck on full throttle.

So, what did i break?

Chassis
Pack of cells
Speedo
Servo
Shock body
Bent both pistons
2 wishbones
Front shock tower
Bent 2 turnbuckes
Ball joints
Front chassis plate
front top chassis plate


The car was more or less a complete writeoff.

Luckily for me I was sponsored back in them days and didnt cost as much as it should have to get sorted.

Nightmare!!
