I have an associated gt2. I am in the middle of the break in process. I already broke in 1 tank. When I started the car, the wheels span without me pulling the throttle. Luckily for me, the car did not crash Can anyone help me? This happened once before.
Thank You.

did you happen to turn the throttle trim knob on the remote to the right? if you did that will open the carb up. make sure theres only about 1mm of opening in the carb where it would be idling. from starting to wide open can only mean that something is opening the carb or its adjusted at too high an idle
 
I might have done that. Anyway, I am going to my local hobby shop tomorrow. The guy who works there will tell me whats wrong.

I found out I was getting disruptions from other radio sources. Anyway, I installed a fail safe in my car so it's all good now. Thanks.

check to see if you camber adjustment is 0.0. also get input on type of tires, i know NOTHING about tires.
 
Might be a good idea to invest in a 2.4 radio if you suffer from a lot of radio interference in your area . I used to get so nervous about running my rig with all the twitching now i run 2.4 haven't got to worry about a thing . . . . Pure bliss
