Stuck on full throttle, another problem
 
Ok so I have another issue. This is the second time this happend, so both times I'm crawlin nice and slow everything is goin good then all of a sudden it just takes off full throttle I'm trying to stop it, tryin to reverse it but it just kept goin til it hit a tree or the rock and flips upside down and I get to it and turn it off. Anyone else have this happen to them to? If so do u know what might be causing this? I'm still able to control the steering but not the throttle when this happend the 2 times. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How far away are you when it happens? The Radio could of lost transmission and can cause it to take off like that. my old Revo used to get away from me and wouldn't stop half my breakage was due to that lol.

Weak TX batteries can cause this.

i was about 20 feet away ive driven it hella far a few times just to see how far it could go and it went close to 100 feet if not more and it didnt have that happen so i donno i was just curious. sucks cause im on crutches so its a pain in the ass for me to go chase it down so my buddies get it or i make my gf run after it :mrgreen: lol. ive had the crawler for about a month now and its happend twice so at least its not doin it every time. just wanna get to the bottom of it before it starts doin it more and more. thanx for the suggestions so far.

On that note, anyone know how low is "low" on the TX batteries? seeing as how it tells us what the volts are. Mine are at 10.9 right now.
