Been there. Once too many times. Was always cheaper to just buy another $400. Boxed Lim roller. Twice. I see yu have all the CF stuff. That kind of puts over the top though. Loss wise. Why I stay with stock parts for the most part.
Jon has had too many wrecks on that road, them curbs be deadly. What he really needs (besides a new car) is a new road...preferably either 3 times wider or without curbs...or both.Been there.

Don't give up.
I've also had those days where my gut said not to drive. Wind was a problem for me also. Also been there with rain starting in. Usually I chance a pass, do or die. Tempting fate.
Nice video.
Just don't give up. Nice road there for sure.
Way to much traffic an sewer manholes,etcJon has had too many wrecks on that road, them curbs be deadly. What he really needs (besides a new car) is a new road...preferably either 3 times wider or without curbs...or both.
Exactly why I drive an hour away. Both crashes would have been waaaay worse had there been curbs or other hard objects that don’t like RC cars.Jon has had too many wrecks on that road, them curbs be deadly.

I speedrun on somewhat of a budget. Got 4 swb cars that'll all run over 100 on 4s,all 6s capable. Stock center shafts,all stock arrma parts,bodys..only expensive systems. My 3 1/8 cars will most likely be in the 130s by end of season.no 170s,but I enjoy 130s all day.Just my 2 cents on the subject....
This video is a great reminder of why you should not run SMC SRD packs and NeuMotors until you have reached that limit of cheaper components and looking to get that extra 3-10 mph to break a world record.
Could have saved $300+ in that crash by running TP Power and G+ CNHL Lipos
Couldn't agree more.I would never attempt those speeds, in those conditions, on that road, with that big dollar car.
Your just asking for a 4k heartbreak.
Begging for it even!
Amen brother.I always watch Jonny’s runs and I always tell him about that road. I’ve seen a few crashes with him and they are ALWAYS expensive because he always uses a lot of premium parts and his crashes always involve the curb.
Jonny probably should have also worked with the vibe and NOT run. It’s weird but even I felt like things were off in that run before the blow up.
Check this jon lewis crash......BOOOOOOMTHAT was painful to hear!...
Seeing the direction it was heading and the glancing brush with the first curb... Couldn't see the actual crash but that thud sound... Awful..
Yeah, that was pretty much a complete write off.Check this jon lewis crash......BOOOOOOM
