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

RE: fail safe question
 

Where did you get that thang?

RE: fail safe question
 

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

RE: fail safe question
 

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

RE: fail safe question
 

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

RE: fail safe question
 

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.

RE: fail safe question
 

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

RE: fail safe question
 

yup, that is them

RE: fail safe question
 

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

RE: fail safe question
 

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.

RE: fail safe question
 

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

RE: fail safe question
 

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

RE: fail safe question
 

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

RE: fail safe question
 

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

RE: fail safe question
 

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.

RE: fail safe question
 

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

RE: fail safe question
 

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

RE: fail safe question
 

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

RE: fail safe question
 

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

RE: fail safe question

RE: fail safe question
 

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?

RE: fail safe question
 

Nope it connects between your throttle servo and the receiver.:D

RE: fail safe question
 

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