Default Quantum took off down the street.........NO Control

I have a T4 and have had my quantum sport since the middle of november/05, well the case kept on popping off, so I called Associated and the guy said to put a drop of CA or tap around the ESC. I let it dry, after I put just a drop of glue on and took it outside to race, I ran a few laps around the street and ran fine, no problems. Then out of the blue it took off, I felt like the guys on cops on a foot chase with the suspect. LOL There were cars coming down the street, I paniced and persuded in a foot chase. LOL Luckily I wasn't running my old 10*1 just a stock motor or else it would have been long gone. It finaly ran down into the ditch and couldn't get out. PHEW!!!!!! I tried turning off my radio AND the on-off switch they both did no good. It was going full throtle. I finally yanked the battery plug out and it stopped. Not to mention I was just alittle out of breath from the foot chase. [:-]

No matter if the radio was off, or if the ESC receiver plug was unplugged when I plug in the battery it just takes off. I am sending it back to LRP, tomorrow and we will see what they do.

Have any of you guys had a problem like this? I am pretty fried and tired and my head now hurts. I thought my car was a gonner. Not to mention I didn't want to cause an accident. I would been crushed if that would have happened!!!!!

Just thought I would let you all in on my experience tonight,
