Hi,

I've recently entered the world of RC Nitro.. I've previously flown Electric & Helis...

I've got a 1/8 Nitro Buggy and after finding out about Throttle Fail Safes I knew I needed one...

I bought one with the Buggy...

It is described as:

"Car Saver ME100" from Model Engines or Great Vigor, however it is labeled with a GV-100 number as well...

I have noticed two issues so far..

1. It appears not to work with a JR RS70 receiver.. it looks as if the failsafe just goes straight into a fail safe mode (the LED stays on and the throttle goes to a full OPEN position)...

2. It seems to work with the cheap AM Tx/Rx that came with the kit. You can set the fail safe position with works when the Tx is turned off... However, you seem to need to set the Fail Safe position EVERYTIME the car is turned off... Otherwise the default failsafe position is FULLY OPEN (Which I dont think is a good option)...


Can anyone tell me if they have had any problems with this fail safe or other fail safe's being very specific over the RX they are connected to???

Is it common with failsafe units to have to the failsafe position set every time the car is turned on???

Has anyone had any experience with the Mtroniks microFAILSAFE unit??? or could suggest a good replacement???

Any help would be grealy appreciated!!!

Thanks
