Failsafe In MGT
Hey everyone, my friend just bought an MGT and he wants to put the failsafe in it but we can't seem to figure out how to get it in between the two radio boxs. Im use to the reciver being right next to the battery. Can someone explain how they got theirs in. Thanks

I wish I had a pic, but my futaba failsafe is on the outside of the box, notched a hole on each side of the receiver box where the wires come out of and the failsafe is on top, have had no problem yet. I hate the small receiver box.

Ok thanks, Ill ask him what he wants to do. I can just use my dremel to cut a small hole in each box. I was surprised how tight those radio boxs are.

I noticed your running the 4 alkaline bat. I believe you are supposed to use the hump pack with a fail safe it doesn't work too well with those something about the current or they drain out to fast.

Also while you have the recv out take the bat line out of bat and plug it into channel 4.More juice to servo's and a little longer run time.That's when you use the hump pack.You will notice the difference in steering with the full current going to servos
