there was a guy on another forum who said he got his wet or something he didn't really know what happened but the winch got stuck on the winch in mode and he had to run really fat to get out of range for the remote to stop then he took the batteries out of it and walked back to his rhino they must have a screw type battery enclosure or something that he couldn't just pop the back off and take them out. but that was the one and only case i ever heard of that happening to it. you could try googleing it to see what comes up.</p>
