vandalbulldog Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 You couldn't have written it! Whilst I was at work today, the Tiger fell into the hands of Sam (my son) who, in an effort to get it running, unplugged the ESC control cable from the speed channel of the receiver and plugged it into the 3rd channel. So, how did I find this out? By turning on the truck with a 4s Lipo in it. As soon as the ESC had finished it's 4 beep boot up, the Tiger went straight into full acceleration on the bench, cornering Sharon and I with its wheels of certain death. Like a true gent, I grabbed the beast (burning my arm in two places in the process) and wrestled it to the floor like a crocodile hunter!!! Moral of the story, don't leave your RC's in the hands of your kids... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex97 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) Had a great practice day down at herts rc model club, nothing broken other than a very battered rear wing. I must have done around 175 laps testing the car and playing around with my setup. The best thing was we were the only three people on the track all day I tell a lie just looking over the car and ive bent a front turnbuckle, I did notice the car was handling differently after a bad jump when I some how went straight into the piece of wood before the jump, ti ones ordered from DMS lets hope I get them on Saturday before racing!
