I run a GS Storm with a Venom Fail Safe. Sometime, over/after bump/jump the fail safe engage by itself for no apparent reasons. Upon further investigation, I found that my connection at my servo plug/fail safe was gliching when applying a twisting motion to the connector. I replace plug, servo but it still glitching sometime.

I wanna know if any body else got this sort of trouble and what they do to solve it !

Thank's
Frank
 
I also have a Venom failsafe, but have never had this issue. Mine is about a year old, so it has about 3 gallons of run time on it. I have both the failsafe and the receiver housed in a balloon in the radio box, so they don't move much, if at all.
 
it sounds like you have a lose connection. you need to narrow down exactly where it is, whether its a broken wire inside the insulation, a lose connector, or something knocked lose from the CB inside the failsafe. make sure you have your radio gear as insulated from impact and vibration as you can.
 
I've had bad luck with failsafes all together. Seems to me that that is what they do, FAIL! I now just go by the 4-5 tank rule. After 4, or 5 tanks, change the Rx pack.
 
untill recently I've never had a runaway wish id had a fail safe then......
sounds like you need to bunch all your cables and secure everything aso it doeasnt move, it will be the pins twisting, so that there not allways in contact
