I hate when that happens! I mostly get the runaway's when the battery goes
down. What SC are you using? I'm using an old Tekin running on an even older
Kyosho Javelin 4x4 chassis chain drive converted to belt and locking diff's,
with a couple of "outlaw" (non-ROAR) motors, and some hotter batteries...
hehehehe and yes I've shredded all 4 tires at the starting line..talk about
getting parts for our real Dak's are bad, try finding parts for mine! Bought
out this one stores entire left over stock! Damm now I gotta go and paint
it..... ;-)
