Well, thinking about it, when disabled, do servos return to their center location? If not, they could be disabled when the radio signal is lost, but there is one servo for throttle and one servo for steering, so it would keep going at it's current speed and angle/turning degree which is what it does. |
Nitro cars don't necessarily have a brake, they just sort of slow down...slowly until they're at a full stop, but probably the servo you had just left it at the position it was at before because I know that there is supposed to be a spring or something like that that releases the throttle and brings the servo back to neutral, so maybe the spring that was in your car had fallen out...I dunno...I may be totally wrong. But nitro cars are cool. What size is yours, 1/8, 1/10?
