Check out how each tire is rolling with car off the ground....binding or bad bearing?

It definitly sounds like a binding issue

thanx...last nite my xb jus ran high and took off down the street,how does this happen.plus it wasnt that far away from me either? is it a battery issue? does the light on the remote let u kno if ur gettin low...thanx

get a kill switch

could be a few issues,, but first thing , u better get a killer bee kill switch,, don't want it running off and hitting something breaking it,, or worst than that, hurting someone,,,, 20 plus pounds of rc can do some damage at speed,,,heck 1/8 th scales are only about 8 lbs and they can hurt someone,,,

Killer bee all the way- but most likely you need to charge your battery in the buggy...

As far as your car not wanting to run straight, I would check your bearings at the axles. Like they said, put it up on top of your tool box and give it some throttle- see which wheel is not turning and start from there.

A bad servo can cause a run away.

Get a kill switch!

use fail safe in your radio dept at all times. If your receiver battery is not charged your fail safe might not work so for double back up use a small return spring on the throttle linkage to at least bring it back to an idle if the radio power goes out.
