Default RE: Tricks and Tips to keep your Redcats running!


ORIGINAL: Dads like rc too

For you nitro guys...I always wrap my servo batteries with a rubber band. A loose battery will cause a runaway, even with a fail safe. Remember, your fail safe needs power to operate, loose a battery after a jump and get ready to start chasing your car.

A carb return spring does wonders when your fail safe fails, try and rig one up out of a small spring.
good one. Keep fresh "AA"s in your reciever pack as well!
