Anyone else had problems with the RTR failsafe?

Just been out with the car and every time it hit a bump bigger than a rabbit turd the failsafe kicked in (steered to right with slight brake applied), car ran fine when kept on flat ground.

On the few occasions the car flipped the wheels were juddering.

I was in the middle of nowhere at least half a mile from any source of interference

Almost forgot - got my first crack in the body shell..... I'm so proud

whats the standard failsafe ?
i use a fs1 and had no problems
perhaps it was me in norwich interfering with it lol

No idea what failsafe it is mate, just looks like a a servo cable with a knobbly heatshrinked bit in the middle.

I'll buy a decent one tomorrow.

Mine did this and it was the connector between the battery and the receiver.

Made sure everything was well connected at the time but it didn't help.

Think I'll get a better on/off switch tomorrow as well just in case that's the problem

local model shop (pegasus i'd guess) should be able to sort you out most here keep the gws (orange) failsafes. you want the more expensive one £15 ish i think, does low voltage and lost signal.

Thanks.

Have fitted venom failsafe as used them on my nitro trucks with no problems so we'll see how it runs later on.
