Post your biggest RC blunders, mishaps, and mistakes

I bought a nice SMC 4000 MaH 28c 2s pack for my xxxtcr racer. I was in a hurry and throw the battery in. I get through about 4 minutes of the race then after a jump my car started to smoke. I forgot to dremel a notch in the side for the battery. The battery was a 100% loss.

Thats a good one.

-i got a couple, first taken my boat out to the lake and i had some new 3800 fusion batts and they were setting next to me on my bench seat in the truck, i started to hear a hiss like something was leaking, drove a little further and saw some smoke from the batteries (parked at a stop sign) a look over at the batts and one cell exploded and i was scrambling to get out of the truck with my seat belt still on , i must of looked crazy from the car behind me

the batts were touching pos to neg for a couple minutes, is that why they called them fusion batteries?

-lets see not to long ago hooked up my 6s controller to 8s close call but still works

- my boat took a dive and could not find it till next morning, only a bout an inch of yellow boat was sticking out of the water pretty far out

- smoked my brothers evx esc by cutting both of connectors off and soldering new deans... yeah should have done them one at a time, and caught a batt on fire in the process i created a dead short, dont be in a hurry kids take your time and be safe

Hitting a tree doing 35ish in mid air with a nitro pede ending in the result of cracking the pro.15's block and smashing the fins. Chassis got raped to. Another good one was when i hit my friends foot with my speed rustler. was doin about 50mph and just barely clipped his leg which ripped the arm off the rustler and sent it into a barrel roll of death. "peices flying everywhere".

Running my b4 on 2s lipo up and down the drive way- slick tires got cold and it went into the garage door at 30mph or so. you can see the imprint of the upper shock caps and bumper in the door.

The super glue or whatever they try to call it for $4 more. Lucias bought a truck from me last week, I think my finger print it still on the right front tire. 2 hours I waited for my wife to get home from walgreens with some nail polish remover, watching CSI with a tire stuck to me for 2 hours. Good luck using that finger print for anything though probably get the 8:am I want my money call. I could use some of that skin back if you have an exacto knife and a few minutes

Your wife takes 2 hours to get to walgreens and back? Or was she at work...

[jayjay283]
