Last Saturday while up at my sisters house in Toledo I was playing with my REVO 2.5R and it slid into a curb just after hitting 2nd gear (I'm guessing approx 30 MPH). It broke 3 shock mounts, a motor mount and bent the tie rods on the front. So I bent the tie rod back to as straight as possible. Got the shock rebuild kits, and bought a new motor mount...

Today I'm out with the family for Easter and enjoying 2 acres of lawn letting the truck just rip... I decide to give the controller to my fiancee's little cousin (who has his own truck, and is usually a PAIN but was being VERY nice today and not being a terror). He was cruising a long doing pretty good and then went into a little vally and lost sight on the truck. All of the sudden the engine revvs super high and the RPM's stay high. I BOLT to see what's up. He ended up taking it straight into a tree, breaking an upper control arm and sheering the nylon gear on the input of the transmission.

So I havn't gotten a good full day of running this thing since I got it running again  Cry

And I picked up a E-Flite Blade CX that needed some work done, got it fixed yesterday and now it needs trimmed properly before I can get it to fly well.

Sorry to hear that Garrett. I know I need to get several of my RC (actually #1 sons old ones) out and fixed up for #2 son to use this summer. I have no idea where have the controllers and other parts have gotten to. This is likely to be a whole day of searching for me.  Tongue
