I bought some of those metal springs for the throttle failsafe. They touched the slide boot a little and I just envisioned that it would result in a punctured boot and dirt being ingested. Never actually ran em. Hairbands work great tho.
I use the built-in electronic failsafe alongside the mechanical one, attached to the throttle slide itself, not the servo horn. In case of a loss of signal the receiver should command zero throttle with very slight brakes but in case something breaks or loss of power the throttle will (ideally) close. My failsafe also commands steering to 0 and I wouldn't want to put it in a circle, my truck might flip. that's part of the reason I don't put it on full brake
Do you run a glitch buster on your recievers? Im still trying to learn this nitro stuff. I have a few radiolink controllers i have ran for years now on all my brushless cars. Hands down best controller for the $.
I run a capacitor(glitch buster) in my Kyosho mp9. Only because of the famously power hungry older pair of Savox high voltage servos(1267/1268) installed in it. I don't think they are required/useful in 95% of modern setups. That being said, if you find yourself with a component that draws a lot of juice, they can help.
I watched Mike grow up myself, that run away was sick. I still remember it today.

His old channel was called JT12. I learned a lot from that kid. I don't think he even does the bike stuff anymore
good topic i use both electric and mechanical failsafe and if i run multiple rc i always shut off one before i start another one

I research everything to much. Until I know it like the back of my hand. 👊😎
