I'm going to give 1/8 Scale off road nitro a try this season on our off days
I bought a 2nd New Xray XB808 2011 from RCtech

looks like it's 1st race will be in June now.
Yii, sorry to hear about that. At least it was an old/tired motor that took the hit, and not a new one!
Out of curiosity, did the big car stop?

No it did not
lesson learned here do not drive out of the parking lot.

Hate to say it, the crunch as the car went over it sounded pretty good.
I guess it was just the wrong type of 'grass' to drive over.
the rear of the car took the worst hit

I was happy that it was only my car that is damaged.

I was happy that it was only my car that is damaged as it could have been a lot worse if that car got into a accident with another car over this.
I didn't even think about that until you just mentioned it. Very good call - can you imagine if it caused a real crash and Juan de Fuca found out it was us? We'd be ejected quicker than you can blink. Let's keep the cars within the track walls!
