Not at all - its a smart idea to have a failsafe. Its certainly not cool watching your truck zooming off at a million miles an hour and hitting a wall!
I have an Ofna failsafe in my MT2 and Savage - works brilliantly, small in size and easy to configure. Just place it between your throttle servo and your receiver.

Failsafe plugs in to your receiver where your throttle and brake servo goes then you plug in the throttle servo in to it. Then you set the failsafe to do what ever you want if you lose the signal. I have mine set which now are built in to my radio where if it goes in the failsafe mode it puts the throttle back to idle and applies the brakes. Now the ones I have heard about with the temperature probe most have problems with them. If you look back a page you will see the green box mounted on the deck of my Rush that is the failsafe.

That should be a good engine as SH makes it. Yes your flywheel and stuff should work off the T-15. Like in any engine change you might have to shim the flywheel.

My failsafes are built in to my radio now. On the Rush I am selling has an Ofna. If you lived in the US I would work out something with you on one. Know nothing about the Dynamite ones.

RE: Official HPI MT2 Thread
I've just ordered the pull-start for my MT2 RTR because of my increasing dislike for the roto-start. Any tips on attaching it to the engine, or is it pretty straight-forward?

RE: Official HPI MT2 Thread
Got to go out and run the trucks. Unfortunately the camera died before I got video of my truck. My buddy got his 18ss together and running. I must say I'm not a fan of the 18ss motor. Maybe I am just spoiled with my OS but that thing was a pain to start and when it came to power the OS was insane. I am running a 17t cb and 47t spur and I still have more acceleration than the 18ss with stock gearing.
Here is a video of his 18ss, it isn't tuned perfect yet but it is getting there.

Then unforuntately the strangest thing happened. While running through the grass a stick flew up into the body and flipped the power switch off (on the side of the truck which is an off place)
He was on the gas when this happened and the truck went screaming into a parking block. I ran after it and caught it (after one of the tires caught my forearm and gave me a roadrash type burn) and shut it off.
This is the aftermath.
