Battle scars..

[Rotary Freak]

If you're anything like me, you wince every time you bump something with your car, my Skyline looks like its been to hell and back, so I gotta wonder, does anyone else have such "battle scars" on their cars, and if so, how'd you get them? My first thing to go was a mirror, on the first time I lost control and flipped, shortly afterwards I started getting horrible scars along the fenders (they kinda give it character though..) and my front bumper looks..eh..like crap (I'm pretty inventive though..whenever I'd get dents in the air dam..its Sharpie time! Heh.) But today..an entire chunk of that got taken out while I did my best immitation of a rally driver..drove over some out of place grass, and got intimate with the curb =/ the cool thing was, I saw the piece jettison from the front end and off into the grass on the other side of the street, lol, well..that can be fixed, I've still got the body kit set. Anyone else got any stories like this?

mine isint that old yet but you could just wrap parts of the car in paper towel to protect it if you are doing somthing that you think could hurt the car.

yah just recently i was drivin my car with stage 2 motor without the body hit sumthin when i turned and did a few flips and sumhow ripped the motor wire so i had 2 solder the wire back on

[Rotary Freak]

Ouch..man that must've been some impact you had there. If that motor isin't mounted in there just right it does tend to move, so I guess a jar to it like that could probably do it in. And a big thank you to whoever invented soldiering..you have saved our X-Mods many-a-time..heh. I know I've had the wire going to the antenna and one of the wires going to the batteries tear off on me, so yeah..I guess that too can count as something of an "internal" battle scar.

amen 2 the solder inventor

[mustang_steve]

Loads of em.....loads.....

Cracked passenger side headlamp.....went completely under a fridge going full bore with a stage 2 drift motor...promptly moved driving out to carport.....

massive bald spot in rear bumper.....slid on some oil I didnt see in my carport and the back end hit a steel pylon

Misc scratches....gravel/dirt/etc being thrown up form the alley and reaming my car's body kit... was seeing if I had the power to pull off a dry-land drift using the stage 2 red motor.....oh soooooo close..

A few scratches on the top of the car....neighbor's cat...who promptly knew what was "a-boot" to happen to cats who assault other people's R/C cars (Yeah yeah shameless pun )

More battle scars on the way....trust me

i have soo many battle scars

the front edges of my bumper is white from rubbing on my track. the bottom of the bumper broke so i cut it all off. the out side of the wheel wells are grinded. the corners of the spoilers have been grinded like hell. the top is all scratched up and the section right above the windows is all scratched up. the whole body is littered with red streaks from my brothers supra.

luckly i havent had any problems internally

Oh wow..now I don't feel so bad for all the scratches and dents my car has..I'm a little obsessive with my X-Mod..lol, I like to keep it looking good, but still drive the bejezus out of it. The only reason I even got the bodykit was because I knew before it was all said and done my front end was gonna be ripped to shreds (and now..it is. Not even my trusty black sharpie can fix the huge missing piece of air dam). Well..I get the chills hearing about driving under the fridge and breaking a light *cringes* I bet thats gonna be the next thing I break -_-..ah well, I'll be getting a Supra sometime, and I'm sure it'll end up wrecked just as bad..so we might as well just have fun with em..its not like we've got insurance to deal with on these cars or something ^_^ (thank god..)

i was going full speed stage 2 top speed and i didn't see the rise in the driveway and when i hit it my car jumped a foot in the air and three feet backwords. that is the worst of many.


p.s. this is my first post.

did it get really damaged?

[Murcielago659]

I've had a few collisions. There's a scuff on my windshield from when I ran it under a table leg at work, a green streak down the side from when I sideswiped my bro's custom painted supra, and of course, the black on my ground effects is nearly gone. My car's led a pretty rough life...

[Micro S2000]

beat this, there are more red marks that shown in the pic. there from me and my brother playing tag, i play tag with stage 2 top speed motors

[Micro S2000]

forgot to resise that, i'll fix it

and the glare hides a majority of the damage

[4G63T]

[Murcielago659]

Those are RSX wheels.
