A fail safe and a throttle return spring is your best bet. The failsafe helps in loss of signal, a throttle return spring helps with loss of battery power.

TNIGS

oh, i thought the fail safe detected when your battery is low???

ehroof

it does, the spring is good if your servo goes dead or there is a power problem, like a battery popping out.

zepena

whats the thing called that measures you speed and temperature?

rc rock

a temp gun for the temperature
a speed-o-meter or a radar for the speed

venom makes a failsafe/tempsafe...drops power to the engine if your engine gets too hot

AffordableRC

Hey Eddie, do you run fail safes on all your Redcats?? Have you ever had a failsafe kick in and save the car?? I went to pick a couple up at the LHS and they talked me out of it. I figured I'd learn my lesson when I vaporize my first car.

I wish I woulda had a throttle spring on my hurricane when I was running aa's in the reciever...one popped out and zoom straight into a wall..lol

TNIGS

lol. i have heard of many people having problems with there stock radio system. like not enough range. i have had mine go as for as i can see the car. lol some times i dont even no which way its pointing and i dont have a fail safe or spring. im going to get one when my new truck comes in tho. save money in the long run

zepena

no i want the name of the device that does it like someone had it that it was one device that measures speed and temperature and it sends it wirelessly to a reciever but i cant find the person who had it.

that sounds like your thinking of a telemetry system. not a failsafe.

zepena

My Feedback: (1)

ok then, glad i could help you. Did you follow the link i posted?

zepena

yeah but that is wayyyy too expensive. I saw one for 50 bucks but i dont remember where. I wanted to put it on my Baja 5b and my mugen.

ehroof

i was thinking of getting one for my ferrari

ehroof

yeah, i run them in most of my cars, definately worth it, the first time your car runs off you will wish you spent the few bucks and believe me, anyone in the hobby for a decent amount of time has had a car run off

zepena

do the lightnings need a failsafe? Because this sever has a spring.

ehroof

all rc's could use a fail safe, it also helps with radio interference

zepena

can you give me a good one? does Dennis or Darin have one?
