speaking of runaway, in more detail (as i posted earlier) i was running my new used ravager, for those of you that dont know, 1/8 buggies are very fast, and VERY heavy, anyway, all i could afford at the time was it ARTR, so it was a bunch of junk gear like Frankenstein servos (hitec and futaba in harmony) and a OLD traxxas RX and TX i had accumulated.

i just wanted to get-r running, the traxxas RX did not fit the tray, so i hot glued it in place, and duct-taped the TX. well out running my frankenstein, i hit a bump at half throttle, the crystal fell out (and i already knew this would happen sooner or later) it then took off through the street, up a drive way, barely missing a garage door, through a few yards almost clipping a mailbox and some bricks, then it jumped up to the street and seriously missed a parked car doing 35mph in mid air by 3 inches, i then took my coat threw it down, it flipped, i then put my finger over the pipe, burning my finger, i couldn't take anymore and removed it, but it revved back up, i then used (and burned) my thumb.

so in the end, that was the last ride for a year untill i got my job

ive also had run-aways due to crap ball ends.
