RE: RUN AWAY car stories
About 15 years ago I was running an 1/8 scale buggy when my radio went into failsafe mode due to low battery. Like a fool I turned battery failsafe off on the TX to get a little more run time. About five minutes later it came screaming across the lot at full throttle and smashed into a curb. Needless to say it was destroyed, I only recovered 80% of the car. I use a failsafe in everything now.
