Well I had a chance after work to take my RXT 1 out for a ride at the local park  along with my T-Maxx 3.3, so I started out with the maxx running, found a good dirt hill and did a few jumps, then on my last jump it landed on it's back and cracked the bottom half of the gas tank, so I proceeded to get my RXT 1 out and run her, so I can get a good tune in her, got her fueled up, turned on all switches and did a precheck on all servo's and control's to make sure she would run good, I primed her up inserted the glow igniter and she cranked up first try, as a smile to my face appears and the engine running good, a few kids that was playing basketball came to the table where I was sitting at to see what it was that was making all the noise, I explained to them what it was and the questions started to fly, so as they was asking questions I set my RXT 1 down and did a few passes and an adjustment here and there to the high speed needle, I get her tuned in perfectly, so I run the RXT 1 around the grass and on the basketball court showing off with it, and the kids sit with enthusiasm apon there faces as I ran her up and down the hill and through the courts at full speed, then she dies out, she had run out of fuel, so I take her back in to get more fuel and filled her up, so I proceeded to start her up again and did a few passes in the grass to check out the tunning of her, then it happens she is coming toward me at full speed, Im like OO man don't she look good flying through the grass, tires bouncing over the bumps and WAIT WAIT I can't slow her down, she's not stopping I can steer her, but I can't stop her, with kids running around the park I did what I thought would be out of safety for the children and run her right into a brick wall, with the motor roaring and the tires spinning I choked her to death, pinched the fuel line till she died, Im like OMG that could have been something if I didn't have steering, or the quick thinking I did with running her into the wall, so I take her lifeless body back to the park bench I was sitting at and looked over her really good to see why it was she went awall, what had happened was the throttle and brake servo had quit on me it wouldn't move at all, but the steering worked perfectly, and seen that I had done some damage to the front bumper and the front plastic bumper shield, there could be more damage to her but I haven't brought her inside to get a good look at her yet, she is still sitting in the trunk on my car.
