There's my Readers Digest Abridged Version...

http://www.redcatracing.com/engineprogram.asp

do you have a redcat engine

If you got an upgraded motor through redcat it will only cost you half the cost of the motor

Redcat Racing has one of the best engine replacement programs in the industry.

For as long as you own your vehicle, Redcat will replace your engine no matter what happens to it. Burn it up, wear it out or beat it with a sledge hammer, Redcat will replace it for same or upgraded motor for only 1/2 of the retail price of the replacement motor you want to buy.

insted of buying a throtal return spring online (for 2 or 3$ highway robery) go down to rona or Home depo take your rc with you and go to the springs and choose one there it is about 50 Cents for one there!

Status: offline 		ya the throtal return springs are more reliable than fail safes... if your falesafe has a batterie (witch i doubt) it will be ok, but if the power is cut to the fail safe you are screwed! but throtal return springs are a wonder i am going to get one tomoro when i go to my bilders suply
