Default throttle return spring

anyone have pics of a throttle return spring setup on their car? i have been reading around and i found the if you have a failsafe it works well as long as nothing is boken, but if your servo breaks or your throttle linkage breaks the failsafe wont work, so you should use a throttle return spring. Any ideas on how to set one up?

Default RE: throttle return spring

hmm, maybe I'm wrong here but the idea of having a spring return that would over power a broken servo dont seem like a good idea...I mean if your linkage breaks or the servo arm it would save you but if the servo was damaged internally and the linkage was intact your spring would have to be strong enough to over power your faulty servo, such a spring would not allow the servo to work at all... further more I would think any additional spring on the linkage that was attached all the time ( like it would have to be) would put extra strain on your linkage and /or servo

I don't claim to be an expert by any means, this is just my thought on the idea.

Losi makes one and puts it on some of there trucks from factory. Here is a pic, it is from a Losi Muggy.
