Fail safe FAILURE!!!!
#1
I THOUGHT FAILSAFES WERE SUPPOSED TO PREVENT THIS!!!
Curb---> :pow: <-- T-Maxx

Full throttle (of course) up the hill...across the road...and not quite head on into the curb!!
But at least I missed the two cars!!

I was going to put my Spektrum in tonight!! I figured I'd run it first for some kicks.
Some how it lost power to the reciever or at the switch cause the failsafe never kicked in.

How was the charge on the RX pack?

Rx charge was fresh...I think the problem seems to be in the switch. I moved it around some and everything worked fine again, including the failsafe.:confused:

Ouch ... that sucks! hope you get it all fixed quick and easily.

switches suck.. None of my Nitros have switches. I replace the switch with thick RC motor wire and Big Deans connectors. To power the car on plug in the deans.. to shut it down unplug the deans. It stays tight and in 6 years I've never never had a problem with one going bad or comming loose.

No quick fix for the chassis...it's tweaked bad! Even the front hybrid bulk is bent a little.
