Dang... how much is it costing you for a bumper and fog light?

Don't give RC'ing a bad name and run them in busy roads.
Keep us posted on damage, curious if any insurance picks it up.

Don't feel bad, been there in my early years of RC'ing.
All can be rebuilt.
When it happened to me, I realized it was cheaper to buy another kit. And what few parts were left over from the wreck became spares. A plus.
Do the math well. You have much in damage.
Don't think that buying another kit makes it a complete loss/fail. Just simple economics.
Your wallet may thank you.
I can tell you that I never let that happen again. Knock on wood. But once is enough.

EDIT:
Not say who's fault it was, The driver has insurance. Crap in the roads happens. Even toys wander into the roadways.
Childrens bicycles etc. I have been a licensed driver for 45 years and seen much living in the big city here.
Driving in the roadway is a risk however. Legally Police cant do crap. IMHO. Ask me how I know.
If you want to do the right thing, pay the guy. Other than that he cant do much about it. Call his Ins Co. If he has coverage. Not. His problem. I always keep coverage for crap that happens. If I'm in my hoopty, then is no big deal. Part of life in the big city.
But, imagine if this happened very much. Then laws would restrain our use of RC's in the street.
Something I have dreaded for 30 years. Would kill this hobby without a doubt. And you have to admit that it Was your user error. Your fault.
Just my spin.

I've only ever had 1 of my cars get run over by a real car somehow this is how it looked afterwards. I would have thought that a S-10 Blazer would have done more damage.
