Help identify mystery part on my rc10gt!!

[Justin428]

Today I bought a used rc10gt today from craigslist. It's very clean and nice and complete.

I noticed the servos were a bit twitchy and I suspect the receiver. So I decided to swap receivers with another rc10gt I have.

But, whats this attached to the Futaba receiver? :\ Its a black box that says pc-rc products and I have no idea what is does.

Please help!

Don't we all love tons of pics? I do!

A failsafe maybe???

I've heard of delay boxes for drifting guys. Never saw one though? Tried looking that up. No results

It could also be a gyro similar to a
D-box, too.

Sent from my padded cell...

I kinda vote for failsafe, but I dunno.

Either way, I removed it an the servo chattering/twitching seems to be gone and response is good.

Ok I took said r/c to the hobby shop today. They weren't positive but said its probably part of some racing telemetry data device (it does say "pc-rc on it) . Interesting to think my new to me car was raced competitively.

Hopefully that means to was maintained to a higher standard. It's so clean you could eat off it and when I shined the light in the glow plug hole it looked brand new. Still haven't started it yet.
