here's a little RC annecdote i have to share with you all.

i was at Ocean City for spring break and i was cruising the T-Maxx. i just put a set of slic's on it for some high speed traction rolls. things were going well and i was getting on 2 wheels no problem. then it flipped. not the good kind of flip, the kind of flip where you run the tires to early and the glue doesnt dry and you roll the tire and boo-boo a rim. front right came unglued, front slipped, car slamed down, hit a curb and did a flip in the air. now that i think of it... it was an awesome flip. landed on the rear right wheel (flipped around the center axis. kind of hard to describe) and slammed down. stalled the engine. it was great. no damage just a slightly chipped rim. but some more CA and i was rollin later that day. until i almost decided it would be a good idea to get some proline paddles and rock in the sand. ive ridden in sand once and it wasnt worth it.

just my little annecdote, i put the stock chevrons back on and had fun pitching it sideways in the slightly sand covered road.
