Do I like Seein how far I can go before it Breaks?

I figure workin on my rig is just part of it. Thats why you have to have multiple rigs to Bash. So you can work on several at a time. :)

if i understood the first post correctly it was not just about the 'breaking' of parts but also the timing aspect that it happens right when you are about to finish anyway.
things break from time to time that just happens if you are bashing your rigs like they 'deserve' it. as for the timing aspect my feeling is that this may be due to two connecting factors. first off you start to do the more crazy stuff not right in the beginning when you just put all your stuff into place and got ready to run but wait until you have several battries through. and secondly maybe its just the concentration that fades away after some hours (and e.g. some beers later). at least for me its quite like that. the sun is setting ... and you have this one battery left and the ramp is still there....just one more time... full speed - jump .... crash. there you go and have something to fix again.

Unfortunatly I think we all fall under that spell when the day is comming to a close and we begin to think that it may be another week or so before we get to do it again. It is hard to bypass the idea of trying at least one more thing that may be a little over the top from our normal routine. Then Blamo*&#$, broken truck. Good point rhylsadar.

Still once again if you think for one minute that you are going to run your vehicle bashing or racing and just not have breakdowns, then you are fooling yourself. This hobby is just one of the situations where you have to have spare parts on hand and expect to have issues of some kind. Our vehicles are very much like the Pro Bajha trucks that require constant repairs due to the punishment we place on them.
