Radio Issue

Took it for a short run. Ran fine, then I shut the radio off and the thing took off in reverse like a bat outta H.E. double hockey stick. Running the tactic. Any thoughts?

Fail safe was set incorrectly from the factory. The directions are somewhere in the manual.
Also you should not shut off the transmitter first, always shut off the car first. For this specific reason.

I did that once years ago with a AM radio. Car took off at 100%, lucky I had the radio in my hand and didn't panic. Turned it on and regained control, if not would have completely destroyed the car in a open parking lot with concrete walls.

That was the case tonight...had the remote in hand and flipped the switch back on. Lucky to say the least!

Had it happen to my 6S Senton once but it was dead radio batteries.
