What I broke yesterday

[adamwins]

In my ongoing quest to achieve 50+ mph runs in my 1/18 Grom I hit 49mph first pass and second 49mph and wedged right under my vehicle ‘s rear tire. The fact it’s still drivable (after some TLC and shock tower glueing / suspension replacement) speaks volumes to arrmas durability and gorilla hot glue .

If you didn’t have an iPad(85” big screen TV by scale) in the back it would’ve done 50 easily! Grab a GNSS

I stepped out of the way just in time. I do kinda wonder though what the damage would be if one were to take a hit to the leg. With a little math I came up with the impact being about 61 lbs of force. (From a 2.7lb rc truck colliding with a stationary object at 50mph. I came up with 273 Newtons. Comparatively for a baseball to exert the same lbs of force it would be traveling at 400mph which seems high but tells me it'd likely be a broken leg?

That setup is nasty quick!

I know it, I ordered one of the spektrum modules, I'm hoping its pretty decent. Chances are I did go over 50, the gps brick on that truck wont update your max speed until you've gone X mph over a 2-3 second span.

Sir,
I Don't think you want to find out the Hard way...
Anything traveling that Fast hitting flesh & bone -Even though it's a little plastic toy- will be an instant 911 call for help & a visit to the ER $$$$ ,most likely.
