Some company make these fire extinguisher that are the size of a spray paint can. They really come in handy when your into the speed run hobby. The 2 ive used had plenty of extinguisher in them to put the car out and collateral damage. I think they would benefit you also.
Thank you sir! You are exactly right. I do have a few of those and worth ever penny. This car was put out with a bottle of water. My reaction was just to run to it - before it got too bad.. and it just so happened to work out for the better.
I would he liked to see how you dealt with the fire, did you have an extinguisher with you or did you stomp it out? I feel like this is a not often covered part of the hobby and probably something we could all learn from. Hope the car is not a complete loss.
sand is one of the best ways. dirt will work also. Have a shovel handy or a bucket of sand. fire extinguisher is good for anything else that might of caught on fire as a result of the battery. the more tools you have to put out a fire the better
You’re exactly right. I stopped filming because I felt dealing with the situation was more important than anything at that point. Within about 1 minute, I had the fire out and everything was good. I really need to do a follow up video though-
Not really sure buddy. The car was veering to the left and I had my hand on the wheel. I generally make a correction or two during a run, but my steering speed is turned down so far that I would have to really turn it way to far.. and I don’t think I did. All I do know is that I messed up somehow 😁
Possibility to set woods on fire? check... can't slow down at 150+ mph when a car shows up? check. limited visibility? check. Fire extinguisher? no check... run ASAP to the crash? no check... Time to sell the RC cars and just get a FPV drone! :)
I guess it’s all just the chance we take. I’ve been doing this for many years and am proud to say this was a unique situation. Within probably 1 minute, I had the fire out and everything under control. It wasn’t easy though.
The sound that made was crazy wow 😮
You’re not kidding buddy👀🙈

I gave a like on the video but it felt so wrong lol
Where is your fire ext?
Always close by 😁🙈
man that hurt to watch..
I know it'll be hard to tell with the extent of the damage, but any idea what may have caused the big shift in direction? Overcorrection?
