You just hook up the male plug up to the receiver then you hook up the servo up to the other end

I have to agree with RCA on this one. Buy a decent quality failsafe or you will be sorry. I wouldn't trust any of rigs to a cheap off-brand part. To me, it's like running a Ferrari Enzo on cheap pump gas: it will cost more in the long run to repair the damage caused by the cheap stuff.
 
Yes you can. And you really should. Cheap insurance!

Ok. I can turn off my transmitter without a fail-safe and it will do as your video does. Wanna really test it? Hit your throttle full THEN turn off the transmitter WITHOUT letting off the throttle. If the servo returns to full-off then it works. For now your just showing us that the LED's work.

Also, the fail-safe has nothing to do with the steering servo...
 
You bet! I am not trying to disuade anyone from having their own likes and dis-likes. Just trying to offer a bit of friendly advice and perhaps save you a buck or two down the road.
 


Here you go smart one

Yes, I AM smart. Nice to see it works! Now take your underlined attitude somewhere else. I was mearly pointing out that your video DID NOT show a fail-safe working.

Your FIRST video. I am done. Have a great evening!

And I stand corrected: That $5 part works wonderfully! Everyone should STILL buy what they feel comfortable with. As I stated earlier: "I AM NOT TRYING TO DISUADE ANYONE"! I just wouldn't trust my rig with it.




























Nothing to see here. Move along...
