Hey, i was just wondering what failsafe I should get for my Ofna Ultra LX Comp. Also when i try to run my buggy, it will bog down the more i pull the trigger and evently shut off. it is really hard to start after that. I have a .26 engine in it and i tried leaning/richening, new fuel line, new glow plug and nothing happens. Do you know my problem? Anyone can help. Thanks.
Well with that buggy and engine your obviously not looking to go into serious racing, so a Spektrum system is overkill. So a failsafe is the better option, I use the GWS FS-01 it's around $20 -25 (£15) and cuts in on low batts, loss of signal, multiple signals and loss of crystal. Some dont have all these features and cost more, the Venoms have been known to cause glitching with digital servos and they are possibly the most expensive. The Ofna (branded) micro failsafe will fit in even the smallest radio box and tends to be the cheapest, I've seen them for $15 but many people have complained about them. BUT no matter what, should the batteries fall out, nothing will beat a throttle return spring (or elastic band).
