R/C Update:

Well, turns out I did break the speed control in the crash. That's the expensive part. It was confirmed when I took it into the hobby shop on Sunday to see if that was the problem. They took the old one out and put a new one in to test it ans it worked like new with the new one. So that's the $220 part. That's the bad news. The good news... so far, is that I might get a new one under warranty. I'll know later this week or early next week if I will be able to get a new one for free. I'm keeping my fingers crossed on this one. Otherwise this will put a hold on my R/C days.
