Mashed up my mini-t again today and i was doing some work on it on the kitchen counter with the transmitter turned off but the car on[&o] the truck jittered and then flew off the counter and landed onto my foot[:@] the 7 cell batt pack ripped the servo brace in half and now the beatter bounches about

Mad-

Sorry to hear about your mishap. Hopefully you'll be able to get it fixed without too much trouble. Just passing along a little R/C knowledge to you. R/C Rule of Thumb: Transmitter is the first thing on, and the last thing off. When the transmitter is off, the reciever is looking for any type of readable signal it can find. And when it does it will respond accordingly to what it interprets. Unfortunately in some cases damage ensues. I hope this helps.
