You ever climb up tree trunks with your ERBE? You know, you see a nice big tree with big roots that give just the right curve from the ground up the trunk and you just send the truck and it climbs the trunk and you do a back flip and land on the wheels. Well I was at the park with my son and while he was playing with some kids, I brought the ERBE out of the car and started playing around in the leaves. The kids and parents were saying ''oohs'' and ''aahs'' at how fast the truck was. So I started showing off by climbing this tree trunk and back flipping the truck back on its wheels and there was some ''WOWS'' and ''That's so cool''. Well I over did it and climbed that trunk so high that it just caught a branch and it did not back flip, it just fell back on the wing from 12 feet high. Result was a broken rear body mount, one of the ball ends of the body mount brace popped off the ball and my CF rear wing mount tie bar broke. Now I couldn't stop because the kids were asking for more so I continued with the rear body mount, wing mount and wing just hanging from the body. After a couple tumbles, the body just ripped in half But I still continued with just the front portion of the body still on the truck until the LVC kicked in. I couldn't disappoint my fans The ERBE is fixed now but I still need a new body. I have the Baja Bug body but I don't want to damage that one just yet.


No brain, no headaches.
