Ok lets start with my problem. My problem is that when I turn on my radio the car will work fine but after about five mins it stops working and it will not respond. So does any know what is wrong and can you help me. Also if you want to hear about the crash that happend because of this problem just ask.

Welcome to the group.

Have you checked the batteries? Alkaline batteries drain pretty fast and it is possible for a cell to go bad on a rechargeable pack.
The stock radio leaves a lot to be desired. Check out the radio swap post from CEN it really is a good deal and can be used on multiple cars.
I highly suggest getting a failsafe that way if your radio messes up it will cut power to the car. Of course the batteries need to be good for it to work. You can also put a throttle return spring on the carb, you will have to do a search on the forums to find out how to set one up.

Thanks for the tips on the car rooland. Info on the crash it happend on my aunts driveway. The driveway is a long downhill gravel road to her house. I was at the top doing some runs when I started its problem. I was going down hill full speed and when I tryed to turn the car be uphill, the car went off the driveway and started flipping down in to the grass. While that was happening it went to full speed and was upside down. I ran down the hill doing reverse on the thottle to cut the engine ( The brake does not work for some reason ). When I got about ten feet away it the engine cut and died. As I tryed to get the car I saw smoke pouring out of the frame. I fliped the car over and saw the fuel pouring out over the hot engine and smoking. When I got to the house I saw the fuel line was melted to the exaust pipe and burned. Thankfully the engine cut when it did.

Trying to turn at a high speed will flip just about any car. Now you know what a traction roll is.
As far as the truck running at a hi rpm when it is upside down that is caused by a lean condition from the truck being upside down, all trucks will do this if they don't have a dual pickup tank.
It sounds like the brakes need to be adjusted. The manual should be able to tell you how to do that. If you can't figure it out take it to your local hobby shop and they should be able to show you how to do it or do it for you. According to the CEN website there are two shops in Little Rock that sell CEN parts.
There are a few upgrades that are almost required, they are the metal brake seat and plug, hi torque steering servo, and the radio.

My dad and I found that the nearest place that has CEN parts is in Tenn when he hit a wood planter at his office when he got it. So we order parts from EHOBBIES that get hear about a week later. The flip was because it slid when it hit the edge of the driveway. What is a traction roll? The reverse on the car is to get the breaks to work but they have not work since I took the car apart. But I have found nice that the reverse shuts down the car . I will have a picture of the car soon because I can't find the camara.

Talk to you later

I bet you would find it even nicer if reverse applies the brake!! I dont really see it shutting down as a bonus, unless of course something like what happened to you happens!
To shut the car down when you hit reverse means you have the idle stop screw wound out too far, therefore closing the carb all the way when applying the brake, the idle stop screw is there to set the idle so you can apply the brakes without the car stalling all the time.
To shut the car down the quickest way is to put you finger over the exhaust pipe opening (careful can be hot) or squeeze the fuel tubing, (safer but takes longer).

The easiest way to explain a traction roll is when the car is sliding sideways the tires will all of a sudden get traction and flip the car.
As for dealers follow this link and click on your state http://cenracing.com/dealer/us_dealer.html
It is possible that they don't stock any parts, half of the ones in my state don't. But if they don't stock them they should be able to get them fairly quickly because they already have an account with CEN for some reason or another.

azzman is correct about the brake thing. If the motor dies when the brakes are applied the idle speed is to low, or there is another tuning issue.

When you took the car apart did you put in the little plastic plug that operates the brakes? The plug is really small maybe an 1/8 inch in diameter and an 1/8-1/4 inch long. Without this plug the brakes will not work.
