I installed an OFNA failsafe on my Savage, as per the instructions. But when I flipped the switch to turn on the servos and receiver, the servos started moving. Now Nothing happens when I turn it on. The batteries(Energizer AA) after the incident were really warm. They still have a good charge. Please help, Did I ruin my servos, or reciever or something else?

adjust the failsafe with the little switch/button on the failsafe


if the batts dont have a sufficeint charge the failsafe will kill the throttle and wont let it work

dude i have had this problem in the past and there are a fe things to check, i have done everything that there is to do wrong with a fail safe and recievers and have yet to actualy do damage...lol

first check the fail safe is installed the right way as is the servo onto it...the polarity is very important, also check that you have set it...cos most fail safes need setting before you can check to see if the servo moves, and as for the batteries check the polarity and check the battery case make sure there is no wire exposed where it shouldn't be. also probelems i have found are if the betteries get worm to check to make sure the servos are in the right way, cos the motors inside of them have reverse protection...it will damage the batteries before they allow them selves to be damaged(well the radio gear i use does anyway). if you have any more poroblems i say take it back to your LHS...or e-mail me if ya like on [email protected]

Thanks alot guys. I'll try out your suggestions.

if you did install it wrong, polarity wise, you may have fried a few things ex, failsafe, reciever, servo, not good. Also, i would def switch to a hump pack. in my experiences with boats, the failsafe's would drain alot of power.

I know I fried something. I'm taking it to my LHS on Saturday. Probably need a new receiver.... I'mm gonna buy a hump pack too. Thanks
