Default RE: Whats your worst run away story?

<div>iv only had 2 runaways both with my HPI nitro RS4 2.</div><div>i was running in the local elementary school playground (think bigger than a footfall field of perfectly flat smooth asphalt.)  im out there making passes, running back and forth.  the receiver pack went dead.  car takes off at full speed about 50 yards or so and crashes into the chain link fence.  bounces off the fence and shoots off at about a 45 degree angle the pipe popped off and the car heads for the back fence still at full speed.  it bounces off the back fence and got stuck.  by the time i had got down there to it the engine had shut off.</div><div> </div><div>the second incident i was running in the street in front of my house.  i was making a turn around a manhole cover.  somehow the receiver pack fell out (zip tie broke) car takes off at about half throttle, nails the driveway lip in the curb and goes flying, it does a full front flip lands perfectly on the sidewalk, and takes off up the driveway and crash's into a neighbor i do not like or get along with's garage door.  with an impact that flushed 2 different neighbors out of there house's because they thought a real car had it the door.  still don't know how that damn receiver pack came out</div>
