Had my first runaway today - 07-21-2007, 02:41 PM
I was running my buggy today and all the sudden it took off. it must of went 300 ft at full throttle and hit a tree. IT didnt break,well at least not the front end. it bent the rear center driveshaft and one of the brake discs. It suks because i think i blew up my omega picco xr7.

I've never been that unfortunate. All of my vehicles have a TRS, and my Spektrum Failsafe Never lets me down.

LSP lots of Khz, Werks .28 8 port.

Don't run it though, take it apart, make sure the rod isn't stretched....
