Just more parts to buy. if you only had fail safe feature installed you wouldn't be buying all these parts. It only cost $10-25 for a add on fail safe.

are you trolling? your reply makes very little sense... crashing is crashing, it happens, best failsafe in the world wont move a stationary object out of the way or correct landing position.

And most 2.4 GHz radios have a built-in fail-safe but you're right about the fail-safe not teleporting obstructions out of your way.

I got that one a few years ago and it fit/worked fine on my flux hp... or it was a savage-x, can't recall which I broke, but they use the same parts for that.

They also sell it in pieces:

Yep, that's all the parts you need to rebuild the steering setup on a savage. Kind of surprised you found one at a store these days!

Most hpi stuff is gone from stores.
