Default RE: Official HPI MT2 Thread

there shouldn't be anything wrong with the car/engine depending on how long it was going crazy for. but i do recommend you get a FAILSAFE!! i got a dynamite one (£17.99) and when the car looses signal the failsafe appllies the break. well Ive got mine set to apply the break. and also when the receiver batteries are low it will apply the breaks to warn you. a must for any RC owner. also never let anyone go on your car only you know how to use it/control it. don't let over people wreck it because you will be the one paying.

This is where I usually take my MT2 RTR for a spin. As you can see, it's pretty much perfect for flat-out running. Wide space, no debris, and it's surrounded by thick grass banks on all sides, so no chance of high-impact smashes.

What did happen today though was this...

I gave my uncle (in pic) a go at the car today and this car park is so long he ran it out of signal distance. The car flew into the far grass bank, got caught up in the long grass and started to rev out of control because it couldn't read neutral from the transmitter.

Is this a bad situation for the car? (i.e - engine running like mad, wheels can't turn) I checked it over thoroughly when I got home and nothing seems to be damaged. The clutch is fine, too.
