ok bought used t maxx from a friend, got it running and decided that since it has not run in years to pretend it was new and break it in. Did that and all was well. Ran it yesterday and having fun until truck hit a metal post. spun 180 and took off like a shot. i had no control what so ever. truck stopped when it hit fence and engine started going higher and higher in pitch, ran up to it to shut it down but by the time i got there shut down on its own. took two hours to repair seen damage. Replaced the (black 72 tooth gear in between engine and transmission) and throttle servo (was old and slow) and removed glow plus to clean and check the piston still moved.
Everything checked out and put back together but engine will sputter then electric motor can't turn engine over. this is were i am stuck.

also forgot to mention after impact air cleaner fell off and then truck was a run away. Do not remember if i had steering control. but I know I had no throttle control.
