2. What happens if the batteries in the receiver go dead? Will it
just mow right over your neighbors cats?


In electric RC cars, the same battery that spins the wheels powers the
receiver, and the wheels stop spinning long before the battery is to
low to power the receiver. The real question is, what happens if it
goes out of range or there is some kind of radio interference?


RC receivers have a failsafe mode that they go into if the transmission
is interupted. For example my plane's receiver is preprogrammed to idle
the engine and circle left until it gets further instructions (or it
hits the ground)
