i got one which is basically a clone of the xtm one but 1000 times cheaper and it works just aswell

Dave:banana:
 
What brand is it? Think it's available in the States? Or is it a UK product?
 
Cheaper?

1000 times CHEAPER? Man they're only $24.00 over here to begin with....

I've got one in EACH of my Nitro R/C's...I'd NEVER run without one, ever again.
 
I have been running the MPI, which are a little pricey. Guess Ill check out the XTM next time around.

I strongly recommend having a 5 cell hump though if your using a failsafe. Regular batteries can falsely trigger them.

Just my half cent and a beer!

hi guys I've found one online at last
4006.jpg

its the orange one, and here is a little bit of info about it,

Dave:banana: :banana:
 
Looks cool. Unfortunately I didn't find any US info on it. Doesn't look like it's carried over here. Most of the sites with info is in Europe and Asia.

Looks like I'll go with the XTM. $19 at littleshopofhobbies.com
 
That GWS is the EXACT same thing as the MPI I have. The guy at the LHS was telling me that they are made by the same manufacturer, just different suppliers slapping labels on them.

I wonder who makes the most inexpensive one??? Or should I say "Who distributes the same thing for the least cost?"
 
The MPI/GWS failsafe is supposedly the same electronics that are in the Futaba failsafes, as per the LHS.
 
i too have the FS-1 on my three T`s and they are great value for money and work fine.£15 or just over $21.00 in your money.
 
I have a KO Propo Failsafe as i have all Ko Propo radio gear.

It cost me £40 and that was after the discount that i got.

What's the fun in that. It's more fun watching your t-maxx run out of control at full throttle towards the traffic on a busy street.
