Just wondering.
There are some inexpensive ones out there and I was wondering if they work as well as the ones that cost more.
 
I had been using those Ofna mini failsafes and they worked very, very well! Got the 3PK now which has built in failsafes, but those Ofna ones were slick and easy to mount!
 
I like my plain and simple Venom failsafe. Has saved me once, from hitting a goalpost at WOT.
 
I like the Ofna Micro failsafe but I am going to switch to the Venom Smartemp. Hate carrying the temp gun all the time.
 
Ed, I have been using the XTM for my Savage with no problems. A bit pricy but works great. I also use the OFNA micro also on my other one.
 
Ofna Micro for life.
 
In my Maxx I have a Futaba FSU-1, in my RS4 I have an ofna micro failsafe, in my PCR Pro and my Savage SS I have the venom units, which are identicle to the Futaba ones at about half the cost. I have not had problems with any of them.
 
Ofna and Dynamite both work well for my sons cars.
 
I have 2 venoms now and they work well. I'm looking for two more and the Duratrash are close to half the price. I'm not sure it this is somewhere I'm willing to compramise but thought I might ask.
 
currently looking to get hold of the venom fail safe myself, prolly order one sometimes next week =)

If you get the Duratrax and your rig goes WOT into oblivion, you will know you made the wrong decision.
 
I know someone here uses the Duratrax units and spoke highly of them, I just can't place the name of the member. I'm running a couple searches, but I recall them getting good reviews.
 
Ofna micro in both my savage and revo. Works well. Has saved me a couple times last winter in my revo when my pack dumped on me. It saved just enough juice to put the servo back home.
