Mulds Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 (edited) After yet another runaway, I fitted a failsafe to mine today! Guns, is the built in failsafe not kicking in? Also how far is the car from you when you lost connection? Edited April 9, 2011 by Mulds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kpowell911 Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Guns, is the built in failsafe not kicking in? Also how far is the car from you when you lost connection? Not "far" really, no the DX3S failsafe isnt kicking in, So hopefully an external one will! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJ Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 I'm having the same problem with my Muggy and DX3S, LST2 works fine but the Muggy ran away the other day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mulds Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Not "far" really, no the DX3S failsafe isnt kicking in, So hopefully an external one will! Did you try re-binding it? I read somewhere that an external failsafe will cause problems like accidentally activating when used with 2.4Ghz that why I did not put one on mine.

kristian1995 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Haha, do think out your toolboard first and plan it well otherwise it will be really unfunctunal, try get it so that your tools that u use most are easy to grab, i put mine in racks to my right hand. oh and one little tip that i found very usefull. Get a hook, screw it under your desk, and hang your rags on it! PERFECT sooooo handy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
