The pull start was completely seized up and could not be pulled. I removed the pull start and played with it and it seemed to become unseized. My question - What is standard operating bahavior? If I stop applying throttle, shouldn't the buggy roll to a stop? Given the speed of the car I think I need a fail safe mechanism so I don't take anyone out by accident?
1) normal

2) How far was your buggy from where you were standing? Are your Tx and Rx batteries charged?
