Manage Olympic City model and behave without restraint? (3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

run riot

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'behave without restraint?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'manage olympic city model' is the wordplay.
'manage' becomes 'run' (both can mean to organise).
'olympic city' becomes 'rio' (Rio de Janeiro. I am not sure about the 'olympic' bit.).
'model' becomes 't' (Ford Model T car).
'run'+'rio'+'t'='RUN RIOT'

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for run riot that I've seen before include "Behave wildly and without restraint" , "Behave unrestrainedly" , "Go berserk" , "Behave in unruly way like mob" , "Grow profusely (of plants)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
