Crashed into a parked car!

Yes..... I hit a parked car... im guessing around 40MPH. Slid it right under the front tire. Damage isnt too bad considering...

Bent upper chassis, Ripped rear a arm out of its mount, and cracked my body a bit. Other than that I think its alright. The top chassis was so bent up that when I set it on a flat surface the front left tire was in the air.

Yea seriously... I have those electronics down so secure that they are the least of my worries in a crash.

Funny story about electronics and crashes... I built a brushless one for a friend of mine with my old parts. His first run out he slid the car sideways into his foot and bent up the motor outputs on his tekin esc. From now on all electronics get mounted on the center chassis.

Another thing you might want to consider is too shoo goo the electronics in place instead of using a zip tie. It will give a better overall look of your ride.

Nothing much serious but I think the car’s front has been slightly turned.
