RE: help
yes definitly invest in a fail safe. even tho the one i have works like sh*t, i still have one. mine can't decide if it want to go to full throttle, or full brake if i turn the radio off to check it. the servo just sits there and moves back & forth...it never goes to full brake when i turn the radio off. yes, brand new batteries in the radio and the receiver. i have re-set the failsafe according to the instructions several times, and it always does the same damm thing.
but...i would still advise everyone to get one and hopefully they will have better luck with theirs than i have had with mine.
