Who says RC and BMX don't mix?
Those are 2 of Chuck's 3 favorite things.

I can vouch that they dont mix - I took my XXXT-CR over our local BMX track yesterday, I had an absolute blast, got some serious air, but I also managed to snap the chassis clean in 2 after an awkward 20ft jump :cry:

Needless to say I have just ordered up a new chassis, and I'll be back up the track again once its fitted :D

I'll get a pic up when I get home tonight 8)

I took my Tmaxx and a Savage to my local BMX track this summer. Serious air and the jumps are so big you couldn't see the other side unless you were standing on top of them.

Crap phone pics, but u get the idea. The only thing that worries me is that my lipo got a little squashed in the impact so I am worried it won't charge safely now.
Fresh from a session at the local BMX track, not too bad hey!?

lipo should be fine. the 2s packs (it uses 2 spc 2s2p lipos so makes it 4 cells in each pack for a total of 8 ) in my truggy were pretty knackered looking after it got hit by a car the other week. the cases are ruined but the cells are fine. the one that was stacked on top had some tweeking in the shape of the cells. they still balance and charge fine. infact the heat from subsequent discharges has let the cells flex back into shape and they are right as rain now.

I actually knocked a kid out once with my truck. He was turn marshalling and got the "deer in the headlights" frozen thing. My truck was already in the air over this huge set of tripples then BAM -pain angel. His older brother had to come sweep him off the track. There was a mixed response from the crowd. The kid was only 7ish, but a total pain in the ass.
