RS4 3 out of control.

[banksie312]

HI everybody,
I recently got a RS4 3 and i love it, but i had a little trouble. I went to the hobby shop and got a new HPI performance air filter and a fuel filter. Then everything was going fine. I ran it a few times (i have already broken it in). Then i went to my friends house and ran it there, after a little while i started to lose my brakes, so i cut the fuel to the engine. Then i noticed that the servo was twitching, a lot. So i turned it off and went home. Later that day i ran it again, but lost my brakes more quickly and was turning it around so i could turn it off, when i lost complete control, it peeled out and went under my dad's car and flipped over. Thank god i had the body cover on. IT then shut off a few seconds later because it didn't get any fuel to the engine. Could this be the batteries, or do i have to get a new servo? Thanks for the help.

Bankside easiest way to tell if it is batteries is to switch it for some new ones. I might buy radio interference at your friends house but not twice like that Sounds like bad batteries. Check and test them with good ones. My Nitro Mt was doing the same only because it had dead batteries in it. You should install a throttle return spring and a failsafe to be safe. It sucks losing a nitro ride at WOT to a parked car. The bigger car always wins.
