I had to avoid a kid on a bike with my e-maxx once. He was going straight for it. I swerved to miss him and ended up under my real car. I had to jack the thing up to retrieve my e-maxx. It broke lots of stuff. I was ... unhappy.

I have an idea. Take an old shell, and cover it in small nails/tacks... next time someone trues to jump on it or drive over it.... they wont try again....

Well, by under a car, I usually mean a truck. We, and one of my neighbors a few houses down, have Dodge Ram 1500's, and any of my trucks easily slip under them without any clearance issues. The bonus side is that they are rarely driven as daily drivers, so most of the times I happen to be driving on my street (weekdays), both trucks are there, so I have a few safe spots.

I used to put nails on the fromt of my first gold pan rc10 and chase the kids on bikes out of my area so I could play in peace :) That rc10 had two screws on the front that were just perfect.

I don't ever manage to go under cars, I always seem to run right into the tire :( I just stuffed my new Academy SBV2 under a car this week. She pulled up all stealth like just outside my periferal vision, and when I made my next high speed pass WHAM right into her street side rear tire. She voluntered to back up a bit when she saw how hard the RC was lodged under the tire... Said it looked like a terrorist attack, this thing flying out of nowhere to blast her car :) sometimes a little humor goes a long way :)

Not this time I guess. I'm going to hook up the motor to my 1940, I was planning on it - just didn't feel like dealing with it right at this moment. I'm 99% sure its the speedo though.

mwry - did Castle warranty your MM?

What i tend to do now is try to stick to the correct side of the road so that what doing a speed pass any cars you should know about as they have already passed you.

thing is though that does make keeping the thing straight and out of the curb a lot harder especially on roads with a ton of camber.
