Unhappy It won't stop!!

I have a traxxas monster buggy. It is older. It has a zenoah 230 engine. I got it running and got a bad surprise. I was going up and down the street when I gunned it. It went flying by. I went to stop it and it kept going. Hit a curb and took down some pine tree branches. Luckily it landed upside down and ran out of gas by the time I reached it. I heard this happened because the battery died and when that happens, it stays in the mode last triggered. Full speed!! Is this so and if so what can I do?

3 things you can do;

1. Get a kill switch; http://www.killerrc.com/product/supe...witch-car-kit/
2. Get a throttle return spring (any extension spring connected to the servo horn that pulls it towards idle works)
3. Get a better receiver pack; http://www.atomikrc.com/products/ven...y-for-hpi-baja
