i have a nitro evader st, i want to get a fail safe for it but im not sure if i can hook it up to my stock reciever...can i? if so whats the best one to buy and how do i go about hooking it up? thanks, scott

Its very simple. I use a OFNA micro failsafe (it is the same size as a penny or smaller!) and you just hook it up between your throttle/brake servo and Reciever (RX) and then you turn on your transmitter with it in place put full brake and hold it in place while pushing down in the button with a pencil or something like that. You need to hold it down for something like 4 seconds. then to test it just turn your tx (loses radio signal) and it will automatically put it brake (should) lol

I will not drive a car without one. It is a lifesaver if it gets out of range!!!

i cant remember for sure but you may need to shave the plug to fit in your RC wire hole in your TX. Not 100% though. when you get it you will see![&:]

do i have to splice the wires?

no there is no splicing simple plug in very easy to install i have 3 different brands of failsafes and all are very easy to install and program

On the nitro evader, the throtle goes to resting if it goes out of range anyway. THe only reason you need one for the evader is really for signal interference. IMo

well i bring it to nascar races in such where alot of people use them in the infield, so i think its a good idea to have one, especially for up there.

Your probably also going to have to cut out a notch on each side of the receiver box to fit the wires to.. so u can mount the failsafe on top of the box. I have the Duratrax one.. works fine.. Actually they're all the same exact thing.. so just go for the cheapest one u can find. The only difference is some can also measure temperature, speed, etc. I can post a pic of the notches if u need em.

I just bought one for mine because of this thread. it should be here tomorrow.

i'd get the diratrax micro one. $19 from tower hobbies
