Made a comment last week about being ready to lose lose a boat due to collision, esc meltdown etc.
Got some pretty stupid comments back about that one, like I should find a new hobby etc....
Just noticed a pic of Diegoboys rigger all smashed in.
How many others have had similar things happen, I lost a tunnel hull years ago due to a radio glitch on AM. Only totaled boat I've had in 30+ years. Lots of race damage though.
I know some of you have hit turtles, somebody had a big blue mono self destruct during a run, bottom ripped out.
I've seen the results of race crashes from some of you. Read about many high dollar esc's going up in smoke
I know wparsons lost one in a river last year, quite a few have sunk.
Just interested in seeing what other people think about the potential of losing a boat or some expensive parts of it when you run it. Stuff happens beyond our control sometimes.
Personally I believe if you want to play you have to pay, I'm not happy when something goes seriously wrong, but I shrug it off as the price of having fun. Or it's my own stupidity/ignorance that caused the problems in the first place, then I have nobody else to blame.
