External failsafe -help!
What about these external failsafe units, I've heard that they aren't worth it, that they don't work well. Is this true? Possible alternatives?

some of the pcm radios have one built into the receiver. futaba 3pk has the built in failsafe and some others.
i too wouldnt run a car with out one. if you dont think they work have someone with one pick up his car and hit the gas and shut off the remote(simulate signal loss) and watch what happens.
it will return the throttle to a full brake
