What the freakin heck

December 19-Well yesterday I made a trip to the track to shake down my TC3...after realizing I forgot my pinion gear set, I went in and bought some, as well as some AA batteries for the transmitter. Well I hooked everything up, turned on teh transmitter and the car went wild. As it turns out, the receiver crystal fell out, and so I couldn't control it. So I switched to my backup radio. And found that the case was cracked. Man...if this is the reality of RC racing...well, I'll have to make do as best I can. Anybody got an old radio they aren't using anymore?
