Don't run head into stuff, duh!  Also if you try to jump a curb or something hit it at an angle, never head on.  Its obvious advice but very important.  Be nice to your car, I should use that advice, no wonder my rc's are always broke, I drive them like a maniac. </div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <I>If you have any more tips send them </I><A HREF="mailto:rczone@rcjon.com" TARGET="_top" TITLE="mailto:rczone@rcjon.com"><U><I>HERE</I></U></A></div> <bR> </td> </tr><tr> <td valign="top" height=90 BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" TEXT="#080000"> <center><script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
