See the sidewalk in the left corner? I tried to make the corner at speed and didn't have nearly as much traction as I needed. The Rustler legitimately "drifted" around the entire curve of the sidewalk, clipped the edge of my neighbor's driveway right near that round bush, and did a complete horizontal flip. That's the story of how I bent my axle.
Nice, too bad you don't have footage of it. All of my odd broken parts have come from "crashing in style"!


Come on guys, more people have to have done some crazy stunts with their RC's.

I've taken my Revo 2.5 at WOT and hit a dirt mound in my back yard and launched it a good 40+ft. in the air, and purposely landed it on its lid repeatedly... what can I say... It was a bad day I had to take my anger out on something :D

one of the funnier things that i didn't get on video of.. when i first got my tc3, i set it up w/ a 9t motor, and was doing speed run up and down my street. on one pass, i hit the brakes hard at the same time as i came to a sewer cover that was slightly elivated.. the front bumper hit the cover, and the car went straight up about 4-5' and did a complete front flip, because i just pulled the brakes at the right time lol.. landed at the other side of the sewer cover, perfectly flat.. although loud, slap. but it quit responding.. looked closer, and the esc switch had turned to off lol.

Does this count as a stunt?

Probably not, but it's the only video I've got of my truck doing anything cool.

Johnnymaxxima wins!

Doing 70mph is impressive enough, but doing 70mph cartwheels is awesome (unintentional, but awesome!)


All I've managed is a few cartwheels years ago with the Madbull- lightweight buggies dont break easily, unlike heavy trucks so thats why I go easy on the Gmaxx.

That thing has some low down power nice. You should try that off a little step, like a curb. See if you can land it properly.
