Let's talk about Nitro engine fail safe methods electronic vs. mechanical and how I prevent runaways

a discussion on Nitro fail safes

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

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.

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

[@rcsendandblast1579]

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

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.
