Default RUNAWAY!

Today, I was running my rush evo. I was driving down the road when all of a sudden, my car took of at full throttle. The car went STRAIGHT down the road (loose gravel) 1/8'th of a mile and drove into a ditch and out of it. I ran over to it, and the engine was still running. It was smoking real bad. I found out that I lost contact with the car when My radio crystal in my car fell out. I didn't have a fail safe either. SO tape down those crystals and buy a fail safe. THe smoking came from my spur gear. THe slipper pad, spur gear, and spur had all melted. My car would have kept drivine through the grass too, if the right rear dogbone hadn't fell out. (Don't know how it got out of there). Any way, Buy a failsafe, and tape down those crystals.
