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. Sad
ouch...no throttle return?? damn dude.that blows :/

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

THROTTLE RETURN SPRING! Bet ya got one on the next engine! That sucks cause that was a kick a$$ engine! Confusedmash:Confusedmash:Confusedmash:

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

there should be play in the bushing if it stretched?
Yes.
