Failsafe to Fit in Savage Radio Box w/ reverse
Right now I have an MIP failsafe (orange with LED), Its a little big, about the length of a quarter, and im not sure how to fit it in the radio box after I install reverse.
Is there a smaller failsafe that works really well, that will fit inside the radio box w/ reverse installed?
I may be returning this one, but if not is there a way to make it fit?
Links are much appreciated and thanks in advance.

the ofna micro is really small probably size of a penny. and it links in thru the throttle brake servo, and mount it outside on top of radio box..

I mounted my Ofna failsafe on the inside of the case.The failsafe is about the size of a Peanut M&M so it fits perfectly.I put it on the tray that the reciever mounts to.I'll post a pic later right now I'm getting ready to drive.

The new generation venom fail safe is also a micro, about the size of a penny and @ same retail as the original. I dont think it has an LED though.

I bought it at my LHS for 21$.The LED blinks red the whole time the truck is on and turns solid red when it lose's signal.I'm not sure if it changes colors with a low battery or not because it's under the radio tray and I can't see it lol.It only came with instructions on how to hook it up and set it so I guess thats all it does.It works good.Tower doesn't seem to stock it but you could try www.nitrohouse.com they stock alot of Ofna stuff and they might have it.
