wHat does a failsafe unit do?

:\

They send the throttle/brake servo into full brake if 1.)it looses radio signal 2.)reciever batteries are weak.


they are good to have! except when they get covered in snow/ice and malfunction...lol

Yeah like said before, If you lose radio signal, or if any batterys, not just reciver, even the truck batterys go below 4.2 volts, it will send the servo into full brake poisiton.

If you get one, get the vemon failsafe, dont get the ofna its junk and goes bad. I acutally just got my vemon today! just gotta wait for the truck and parts!

How about this failsafe?

It has a temp unit built in. Remembers high temp too. I like it, just curious about feedback if anyone has it.

Is this the Venom unit you just recieved 2Steppen?

Sorry for the late reply. Your link above ended. or was removed so i cannot see it.

Also fail safes with temp. is useless, the temp is always unaccurate, and it cost just as much to just buy a temp gun.

This is the one i got.

I picked up a couple venoms aswell for my savage and gas boats, I haven't used them yet but was wondering if anyone has tried the duratrax one

 

[RC Addict]

Wow, looking at all those nitro rigs that you have I would say you need SEVERAL failsafes. May want to look into the DuraTrax Micro Failsafe. That is my failsafe of choice...

it fails safely..... duh...

That is funny. Sarcastic, but funny as hell!

 

[h8z2luze]

[kswiencki]

just a word from the wise tho...

hide your failsafe from snow/water.....
if mine gets wet it usually switches to f/t other that f/b.... lol not so much of a failsafe at that point.......

 

[2 steppen]

Speaking of fail safes, i lost mine last night and can't find it =[ i dont know what to do now? i looked everywhere....
