failsafe ???

As monkey said, you don't need one specific to your car or truck. They are pretty much universal. A lot of people use the Ofna Micro because it is so small.
 
I don't care for failsafes. I have one built into my spektrum rx, and I find it cuts out too early for the voltage.

What?


A failsafe will return the throttle to idle/apply the brakes and limit the amount of throttle play you have. You need to read the spec's on the failsafe you're interested in to learn exactly what you it will do.

Eh??????

I use the ofna micro failsafe in all my nitro's. Never had a problem with one. Simple to program as well.
 
I'll try to answer what I think your asking:
A failsafe will engage for one of several reasons
  1. RX battery pack voltage drops too low (usually less than 4.5V or a little less)
  2. The RX loses the signal from the transmitter, whether it's out of range, the transmitter is turned off, or the transmitter volatge gets too low
  3. Another person turns on their transmitter and they are on the same channel as you
Hope this clears it up for ya
