2.4 radio system
well i just learned the hard way why a 2.4 radio is a great idea to have.......i was out driving my truck around the train tracks like i normally do (great jumps) and i heard a train coming so i got off the tracks and was driving my truck on the road waiting for the train to end. i seen the end of the train coming so i got my truck set it down ready to hit the tracks again and all of a sudden it just took off by itself i tried to turn it and hit the brakes well that didnt work my truck missed the first set of wheels and stopped under the train until a coal car hit it with the bottom drop section and my truck is gone i found my battery, the front wheels, part of a shock, and the body wasnt hurt to bad...........well i just lost my favorite truck!

RE: 2.4 radio system
OUCH!!!!!! I lost a car with an am as well!!!! Mine got hit by a truck!!!! I just bought a futaba 2PL 2.4 FHSS, and I LOVE IT!!! I only have two cars at the moment, so its good for me. Very inexpensive to get into 2.4, and the extra recievers are less than $60 bucks!!!

RE: 2.4 radio system
it was an electric rc ruckus.... im not sure what caused it to take off im gonna guess it was the train but that was the first time i have ever experienced interference that actually caused my trick to take off like that... i am thinking about getting the hobbyking 2.4 system for $20.
