RE: why get a failsafe?

Not to beat a dead horse but if the rx became disconnected from the battery the failsafe would do you no good. Did you mean that it became disconnected as in lost signal?

RE: why get a failsafe?

It COULD but it may not too. All depends on how "noisy" the air waves are in the area. It's not a must do but it IS a good idea if you have a little extra money. I worry more about the steering servo...

RE: blancers important for lipos?

It discharges the higher voltage cell until it equals the lower voltage cell as the pack is charging. After running your pack I'd balance the cells first and then leave it on while charging the pack....

RE: ProTek Lipos??

RE: why get a failsafe?

Definately not, never turn off your radio before turning off the rx. Basher, racer, no difference, interference is everywhere not just at a track. Interference, whether it's another rc radio, metal...

RE: Track Question

Wood is a good idea, maybe top it off with some thin, outdoor, boat type carpet if you know what I mean. You'll always have traction and that way you don't have to constantly rebuild the ramp too....

I'm with you here no doubt. I'd do the same, you should stand up for your product and more importantly yourself. I've had r/c products shipped to me in non working condition including Traxxas and...
