Easily missed point

WHAT IS YOUR SERVOS DEFAULT POSITION??

IF your reciever loses control of the radio.. this is where it will go

If this is set at full throttle.. God forbid..
I dont care how many throttle return springs you have, your servo is going to fight it and try to crash your car!!
Make sure your servos "default postion" is set to Brake or at least IDLE..

To find out what this is.. leave your radio off and turn on the reciever.. where does it go? does it hit the brakes?
If it does.. this is what it will do when you lose control!

The only time a throttle return spring will help is if your servo batteries die when the throttle is stuck at "full speed ahead"!

I hope all info is correct!
