Default pay atteniton to where you're driving

this story isnt so new but i thought i'd bring it up. a few months ago i was at my local hobbytown usa racing my slash 4x4. i was on the straight away doing about 25 and i took my eyes off of my car for half of a second, the result was me slamming into a little kid's brand new slash 2wd. i brok the back axle carrier. the kid was really sad about it. i felt bad about it and i went to the counter and bought the kid a full set of rpm suspension gear(a arms,axle carriers, caster blocks). the father didnt know much about the rc's so i went over and fixed the kid's car and tought them about it. i told him that i was really sorry and the parts i bought him were indestructible. he was so happy that he gave me a hug. when the dad offered me money for the parts i told him it was my fault and i needed to pay. so in conclusion, pay attention to your car, it will keep you from breaking your car or someone elses

Good on ya ! I have seen people hack some one ( not saying that's what you did ) and leave them stranded . You may have taught that kid a valuable lesson and he still got to enjoy his day .

Damn. That's stepping up to the plate, and then some. Above and beyond. Props my man, big props to you

The world would be a much better place if more folks had as good an attitude as you do...
