Default New Rs10 problem (maybe)

Just picked up a new rs10 from my lhs.. when im running the car at almost a 90 degree angle or it flips upside down, I loose all power to servos and motor.. but the speed control fan is still operating.. my question is does it have some type of cut off when it gets to a certain point.. it will resume to work after like 10 seconds of it i come up to it and shake the car ... i know it sounds stupid but ive been into r/c for my whole life and this is a new one to me. other then that im pretty impressed.. just wanted to make sure before i take it back.

Mine runs upside down fine. and that's why after 2 days the body is torn to snot. IT WILL flip it's self back over with the 4 wheel steer.

Check loose wires. It may not be that though if it's a persistant problem.

later

If the problem only happens when it's 90 degrees, or even upside down...do what the other guys suggested and check all of your wiring connections. If everything is fine and the problem persists...shoot redcat an e-mail.

Mine was doing something similar. It was a loose connectin at the battery. Try a different battery pack and see if it still happens.
