This is the result of loosing radio control.......... Full speed into a chain link fence post......

lolololololol

failsafes are cheap - throttle return springs are almost free. You learned that lesson the hard way, I hope others will not. Sorry to see the damage to your truck.

what does a failsafe do that a throttle return spring will not?

hit your throttle on your radio, hold it, then turn off the radio. your truck will end up continuing to head full throttle, i learned this really quick lol.

A TRS will only return a servo that has lost power - a failsafe will shut down a servo that is still receiving power but is either glitching, broken, or any other frequency related problem when a TRS doesnt have enough oomph to pull it back to idle.

i wont drive a truck without a failsafe. someone i know wasnt using one and lost contact and it went flyin into a car doing about the same damage as fastdeuce.

I find I learn my best lessons when I'm either in pain, bleeding, or costing me $$$

Have the car 40% rebuilt with some cool carbon fiber shock towers & top plate & oh heah, a brand new fail safe and RTS...............
