Because you're doing it wrong.I am new to the RC scene. Can someone tell me why my Kraton takes off in reverse when I turn off the controller before I turn off the car. Thanks in advance.
Thanks, Sounds like I need to check the fail safe.Turning things on and off in the right order is important but not nearly as important as correctly setting your failsafe. What happens when you drive it out of range?? What happens when your transmitter runs out of batteries or otherwise fails? The vehicle defaults to its failsafe condition and stays there until you turn it off.
This should be bench tested with wheels in the air on any vehicle you are not familiar with. It literally takes a few seconds to do and could prevent serious damage or, worse yet, someone getting hurt. With wheels in the air and the vehicle restrained in some way; turn tx on, turn vehicle on, turn tx off. It should sit there and do nothing otherwise the failsafe needs to be set so it does.
Sorry for the lecture, but this is important stuff that we should all know, understand, and follow!

Rule 1 = transmitter is first on and last off

The transmitter is the FIRST thing turned on and the LAST thing turned off. Always.
