flipped my 3evo+ and now the engine/throttle goes all out
My wife bought me an Nitro RS4 RTR 3 Evo+ for Christmas and the things incredible. I popped a rock and flipped it yesterday. When I started the engine back up it was full throttle and roared through a tank of gas. I couldn't stop it so I switched the power off until it died. After that the glow plug was dead. I checked the remote and throttle response after everythingand it seems fine. Any idea what the heck happened? Thanks for helping out a newbie. Nick

RE: flipped my 3evo+ and now the engine/throttle goes all out
More than likely your throttle servo gears stripped or something is causing the throttle servo to remain at full throttle. Turn on the radio and car and make sure all the servos are operating correctly. If they are not more then check your transmitter adjustment knobs...make sure they are centered.
If everything is okay then fire up the motor. If you burned through a full tank at full throttle...I'd definitely be worried about your motor as well. Make sure there is still compression and you didn't blow out anything.
