J.K Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 It's not really required on a nitro, if you're worried about safety then get yourself a failsafe. If you have a 2.4 tx then it will prob have one built in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.K Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 if your throttle/break servo fails and stops working (stuck) on wide open throttle fail safe will not help True, but for a nitro fuel shutoff you'll still need some sort of servo to shut the valve. Also, the way in which a nitro runs means that even at WOT it will still continue to run for 10-20 seconds after the fuel has been cutoff. Just not worth it IMO.
