I just lost a engine - my truck took off after the reciever died, our tracks here all requirer something on the trottle to close it in case this happend, but it did not, those bands do not have the strength to move your high end - high torque digital servos.......... it dont work anymore...

And as far as I catching a run away......... I just use my foot on the fly wheel....... dont, nothings broke......
