|  This must be the reason for a failsafe
So a few days ago I picked up a new pede to beat on and today I tossed it in the truck for a spin around the parking lot at work. About 20 seconds into the pede's second run ever it lost the radio and took off full speed, you know what happens next  In short the only things I can re-use are the suspension arms, steering linkage (servo saver broke), and the body mount    |

Well... Since you can't use the transmission, I'll take it off your hands. |

Your coiled up reciever antenna might have something to do with it taking off.  Last edited by TMXONR; 06-15-2007 at 08:14 PM. |

LoL , I did the same thing when I got my pede 7 years ago, I was so excited christmas morning when I got my charger I forgot to put up the antenna. It went full throttle across a parking lot, hit a curb and did a front flip into a snow bank.

That is halarious! Yeah a crawler isn't hard to catch if it runs away, and range is usually not a problem either!!! |
