I use the Venom Failsafe and it works perfect with the LST2. I can't comment on the Ofna one.

i use the futaba failsafe,but you have to shave off a little so the connector can fit in the reciever.is that what you mean it wont work.

I use a Ofna micro failsafe with my Jr RS300 rx on both my LST and my T-Maxx. I simply shaved the plug down a little to make them fit. I've had them on my trucks for over a year now with no issues.

yeah i forgot there is a little tab on one side of the plug that goes into the receiver that needs to go and make sure both plugs are plugged in the right way then turn on the tx and then the rx and apply full brakes and then set the fail safe with brakes applied

yeah i think i need to trim off the side too.. but the thing is even the other end dont seem to fit well. The connector itself looks different ! so i should just shave off an bit and put in the receiver.. and now talking about the other end, do i kinda need to kinda force a bit??? do i need to do anything to this other end? wire colors are different too so its kinda throwing me off. maybe i am trying to insert it wrong. can anyone please suggest in detail. thanks a lot guys.
