had some issues with the car, the battery on the car dies whilst it was going full pelt and the fail safe switch didnt cut in so with the throttle jammed open it went in to a curb at full pelt

caused some damage: the front prop bent in to an S shape and it broke the servo gears which took me ages to figure out as the steering wasnt do its thing properly car was out of action for 2 weeks

so my dad straightened the prop perfectly and i ordered a couple of parts:

No apparent damage to the gears, the problems were internal in the motors, it used to turn all the way left and then jam there

This is the new one i ended up buying, much more faster and powerful, noticed the difference straight away

good price too but isnt the best brand apparently, doesnt matter as the car runs brilliantly

Next time i run it il get some action shots
