you just had a bad day. Buy a failsafe and a throttle return spring. Before you run your car check over everything including your radio system. It may take more time but you have found out abot hassles. This is also let you know the condition of your truck. Also every time before you run check over all the screws and put loctite on all metal to metal fasteners. Also sometimes put a drop of CA on screws that wont want to stay in and put a dab of shor-goo over hinge pin E-clips of keep them in place.

Nitro truck are alot of work. there is no getting around that. But if you stay on top of the things I mentioned to you you should have no trouble with malfunctions sir. Also if you are having alot of trouble tuning go to the local hobby shop and have them show you the ropes of your truck. Also keep the same fuel and nitro content. If you change fuel often your carb will always be out of whack. Get one fuel and use that as long as it works well.

Now whats your age? If you are under 16 many people reccomend not to start nitro until that age. I cant blame them. Most kids under 16 dont understand enough about their cars and just get mad and give up. If this is the case sell your truck or just clean it up, put after run oil in the engine-take the springs off the shocks, put vaseline on the shock seals and rubber peices and let it sit until you are a little older and feel more competent to run your truck.
