You haven't seen John in action, no jump is too high

Me, I like to push my car as far as it will go, and it's definately not suited to mudplugging, so won't be doing that again.

Only thing with my Thinder Tiger is that I think the engine is too powerful for the car as it keeps shaking itself apart, mind you it don't help that it spends most of it's time on the roof

If you're guarantee'd one thing at our nitro meets, that's a bloody good laugh, especially me usually having to do running repairs after each run because something has come loose! or people chasing after their cars for 1/2 a mile because they have rolled onto their roof's

Organised chaos

what kind of range do the contollers have, and what happens if they go out of that range

Do they just stop ?

I'd highly recommend getting a "failsafe" that way if the car goes out of range, or the batteries decided to die, then the failsafe will automatically put the brakes on, or else the car will just thunder along until it hits something, usually at full throttle.

Failsafes are around £10 and only takes 5 mins to install and setup, well worth the money

Are they generic or do i have to get a model specific one?

Sounds like a wise tenner to spend

the connectors are pretty much generic, but it's best to note what make of radio gear the car has just to be on the safe side, ie Futaba (most common), Sanwa, Spektrum, Acoms etc
