Default RE: Whats your worst run away story?

My first car was a thunder tiger ts4e pro. Still came out that time with a mechanical speed control. Anyway, some day went by without problems, and other went by with minor glitches (as the back then LHS described them). on this particular day iwas at the local mall on the track, just messing around with the other cars on a friendly race. Went around the second corner and into the down straight. Opened up the throttle as i knew my car was fast on straights and possible gain a position or to, and then it happened.....the serve pushed the throttle WAY past the max point and off of the set points. stopping directly on the "all out open power point. It basically welded the copper together. Didnt even get the chance to steer.....the car ended going straight into the gutter....got it back the next day though and never raced it since.......
