So I went off a jump

Here are some pictures of my first real crash. Went off a 1m ramp got some air, but landed directly vertical ont he rear, few bent parts chassis, & drive shafts. What makes it worse is that the car wasn't mine. Am rebuilding it this week. hehe.

mmm zip ties on exhaust.

I threaded the tip on mine and couldn't think of how to secure it. Thanks for the idea!

I let my cousins take my Mad Bison for a spin on the weekend. If anything was to break I was ready to cop the bill.

Funny bit was one of my cousins asked why I hadn't trimmed down the body posts seconds before my other cousin ran it at WARP9 into the strom water drain, only to be saved by the extra long body posts.

I knew I had them on for a reason :)

heh, it's my sisters boyfriends car, and yeh he knows. Fixed it yesterday so it was running, haven't bought anything yet, need new shocks and drive shaft. Put a tank thru it yesterday around the front garden. Runs alright for 3 shocks. Used a hammer on the chassis, front shock tower, and rear drive shaft. Will be buying on the weekend.
