Default Broke my T2R Chassis and Top Deck :(

Well, the title says it all...Except for how it happened. I am almost ashamed to admit how careless I was, but I figure maybe someone will read this and just maybe, they wont make the same dumb mistake.


I use a M11 with Spektrum Pro module. I have 4 main cars programmed on it.The other 26 memory slots are empty and unbound. Last night I was driving my T2R after a servo change and it was pulling to the left just a little. So I was going to adjust the subtrim, just like I had done on my other T2 a fe minutes earlier. Only problem was I forgot to change the menu to subtrim, it was on model select. Once I hit the button to add some subtrim (or so I though), it actually changed to model select 5, which had no info. The car took off at full throttle , with no way to control it. It hit head on to the curb and trashed my car.

So the moral of the story is. Always make sure you are in the correct radio mode.
