terrible pain ....

 

[markrufrider]

this will be a lesson learnt for us all don't mess with a redcat dune runner no damage to the dr thank god we all seen the funny side of it tho but i dread to think if it was a small child

Many times we forget that they can be very dangerous, a great weight to a lot of speed.

The important thing is that there is no damage worse, we all have to be very careful.

thats a hard impact! the antenna broke off the reciever on my xb. no one was hurt. lost all control, fail safe -kill switch. the antenna should be glued where it enters the recievers cases. here are 2 photos showing the broken antenna, the arrows are where to apply glue.

Ouch! Good to hear he's going to be ok.

This is the reason why these are not considered as toys.

I better order that kiiller bee switch!

The killer bee is a must, but accidents still happen.I hit my gf on a run away..power wire came out the receiver.. I got her with a mt. Hours in the er , she's OK but to this day I don't like driving it anymore. It scares me every time it starts up, who or what next time.

That smarts.Glad he can walk.

 

[MNRampage]

Ouch ! That's some serious road rash,hope he's ok.

Get back up and let the largescales rip. I would have to be in the ground before I give up

 

[markrufrider]

he is recovering well let us all remember the dr is not a toy for children and in the wrong hands its a weapon of mass destruction ha we will al learn from our mistakes im taking extra caution now when the beast comes out to play make sure there is plenty of room and there are no children about

Don't let the camera angle outweigh safety. Standing next to the track with your eye glued to a camera doesn't mean you are bullet proof.
