Horror Stories! Share em!
 

Just thought it'd be pretty interesting.
I was thinking more along the lines of shipping horror stories, but others work too..

Mine.. Not exactly a horror story, but pretty funny imo.
I ordered some heatshrink tubing and Deans from HobbyCity..
Took the expected wait time, a good month...
Arrived in my mailbox, looks like it shipped in a nice box.
It arrived in pieces, box looked like it was "repaired" multiple times with scotch tape, then they just gave up and tied a string around it like a present.
Eventually that gave way, and they just shoved everything in a little plastic bag and taped the bag shut.

So let's hear it!

Here's a bunch of RC-related mishaps, blunders, etc., not necessarily all horror stories, but you might get a kick out of some: http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23137

My top three:

1: Hitting a telephone box on the side of the road and bifurcating my Rusler's chassis. :cry:

2: Squeeee oooinkk *donkey* squeek ---- POOF! *magic smoke* :gasp: :lol:

3: Re-formatting the wrong HDD because my friend was making me hurry so we could play COD....... Bye bye 120GB of media! :grrrrrr:

Bench testing the new Novak 6.5 unloaded...you only do that once!

Using bullet connectors in the dark...another once only experience

Letting a novice friend use my just rebuilt truggy, in long grass, after I'd carefully explained what he should do AND shouldn't do throttle wise. If only I'd concentrated on the "do's" & not expected him to cross reference with the "don'ts"
