    Ultrex Coiled Cable Reliability

    Don't have an Ultrex but I was wondering if anyone has had any problems with the coiled wire going to the head? It looks like it would fatigue over time. Also does it have stops to keep the head from over pivoting and pulling it out?

    The "stops" is a foot pedal with mechanical steering cables controls the turning of the motor. It is impossible for the motor to rotate more than the foot pedal can turn it left and right.
