Does anyone know off hand how to set this thing? It came with instructions but they made no sense and i lost them anyway. I know its pretty striaght foward but I'm not sure how to do it.

lol, suprasales, right???

just apply the brake, keep your finger on the set button for 5 seconds, then release.

keep radio at neurtral and shut it off, it should apply the brakes automatically when the radio is turned off

yannno I think these are actually pretty decent failsafes...I bought one to just try out...im satisfied with it..especially for the money

Where did you get that thang?

suprasales on ebay....great placed to get 1/8th buggy wheel/tires ,fuel line

yeah it is. dad just ordered some wheels off of there for his Hurricane. I talked him into getting black ones.

did he get the solid rims or the spokes? i got the solid ones and havent had a problem yet. i run this thing very hard to. they are holding up awesome, i think i am going to have to order some spoke ones just so i can change them when i feel froggy. for the price you cant go wrong.

that is one of my favorite sites now. lol

he got the solid ones. He was thinking about getting some spokes, but I told him that as many times that he has broken things on it, he better go with something a little more durable.

yeah they are pretty solid thats for sure. i like them. this is what they will look like, except cleaner of course.

yup, that is them

the spokes are very durable....I think they may be more durable then proline wabash..theres alotta meat on em...

did he get the knobby tires or the ones like this? i couldnt decide which one i wanted more, i think i will get the knobby ones with the spokes.

like the ones on the yellow flame buggy?..they are pretty much identicle to proline badlands

do you have a problem with your exhaust putting a bubble on your body where the header connects to the pipe?

no....I HAD a problem with my exhaust sliding forwardand poking a hole in the front and melting more around the exhaust exit....but I bent the spring and problem seems fixed

the spokes are 3/8ths of an inch deep...like I said...theres alotta meat..proline wabash are thinner but have more spokes

mine just rubbed right at the end down there and wore off some of the paint, where the exhaust exit is though it has sunk in a bit from the heat.

Eddie you have any of these failsafes?...I think they would be great for someone on a budget...better then nothing anyway..dont know if it shuts ya down when voltage is low though

i have 2 of them, they work good bro!!

yeah..its whats on my lightnin...I feel safe with it..just didnt know if it has the low voltage shut off like my venom does....havent ran the batteries low on it yet..lol

I bought the 1/10th aluim 5 spoke wheels for my lightning off there...they are quite a bit heavier then the stock..I personally dont care for them...they look nice on it though..lol

Thanks for the advice guys, I'll install it tomarrow!

Im still having some trouble with this failsafe. I tried to instal it and im not having any luck. How exactly do you install it? does it connect between the battery pack and the on/off switch?

Defm

Nope it connects between your throttle servo and the receiver.

Goes between the Receiver and the Throttle Servo
Keep it AWY from the antenna if you can
