I was out with my RC10GT, and went over to my friends house. His neighbors were on the porch and their 7yr old son was watching my truck. I was sitting on the 2nd story deck of his neighbors and they thought my truck was cool(as do many). Well, right when the rc10gt to the bottom of their hill the ball cup came off the ball end of the throttole. My return spring was off for cleaning(figures!!!!!) and the truck took a sharp left and went towards the pond! The pound is about 200 ft from where it turned and its up like a little hill tahts really steep and 15 ft high. I ran down and heard my truck Reving up to the highest(so i know it was flipped over).

Anyways, it worked great(no burnt or ruined piston/sleeve) and I didnt break anything for once(ran a good 10 tanks). Now here are the funny parts. I found some fishing line all wounded up in my rear axle and When i was trying to cut it I broke my sissors. Honestly I was laughing for 20 minutes. [&:]

I dont know what im more impressed by, the fact that I broke my sissors do to fishing line, or the fact my GT went straight offroad and didnt turn. [:-]

Yeah, gotta love throttle return springs, at least when they are ON the vehicle
