Default body flexes??

just in case u don't know i have a jato, and today i had it out and everything was fine then all of a sudden, i lost control. the car itself didn't go out of control, but i couldn't give it gas or steer the wheels and then all of a sudden i went back to normal. it did this about 2 more times withing 5 mins. and then after that i ran two more tanks and had no problems. what could have caused this??? i put brand new batteries in the controller and receiver last weekend and the batteries show no sign of being weak. i did notice one thing though. the throttle servo has 4 screws holding it down and the front two screws the loops the screws go in where cracked. it still seems to sit in their very sturdy though, it doesn't wiggle when i push on it. but also when i have the motor off and i give it full throttle i notice that the body kinda flexes then goes back to normal when i let off the throttle. it doesn't flex much, about an 1/16 may an 1/8 at the most. i was just wondering if this is normal because i've never paid attention to this till today.
