these runaways have to stop!

Ive been hearing about people having runaways so hope this video helps. If you don’t feel comfortable splicing wires for the switch delete here is a link to a lead www.amainhobbi...

Thanks for putting this into perspective before I run my truck tomorrow. Going to switch out that battery pack before anything tho.

[@olivierplayer1633]

i had the same runaway problems , now i have two failsafes installed , one on spectrum transmitter when signal lost , one from alewings failsafe that kicks in on low battery power , a tirth failsafe like yours could be nice !

[@olivierplayer1633]

i have the transmitter failsafe on spectrum dx5c that works good when turn of transmitter and i have a alewings failsafe that turn on when rx battery power is low . 2 failsafes working on one car !

Thanks for the video. My car run away and was crashed completely. I found that the battery pack wasn’t correctly plug into the receiver.

muggy maniac thanks brotha!

[@rueagonvyceratops2879]

the run away i had was because of throttle servo decide to break when i was accelrating , and was not able to aply the brakes.

[@KacKLaPPeN23]

I've had one runaway ever and that one happened in the 40MHz era when someone else was using a frequency that ended up incompatible with mine. One thing I always did was adding a spring on the carb that pulls the throttle shut in case of power loss or a linkage coming loose (some carbs default to 1/4-1/2 throttle with no linkage attached). Saved my ass a bunch of times.

Once again great tips!👍

MrLilchilly thanks brotha

[@jasonphillips4229]

What savox servos are you running for the throttle/ brake and steering?I'm getting ready to upgrade mine.

[@thenitronation5815]

Jason Phillips for throttle/ brake I’m running a savox 1258 and for steering I’m running a savox 2271

glitch buster ? where to bye ?

Amain hobbies

[@RcOffroad9513]

The glitch buster is more to stop brown outs, than to stop twitching. From my experience anyway

[@thenitronation5815]

RC OFFROAD RACING yes they help with that also

[@troyandersonnitrorc6180]

Hey I've had plenty Rc's and never used any thing other than the stock fail safe and changed out to a hump pack. Never had a run away 💯

[@thenitronation5815]

Awesome brotha! What ever works for you 👍🤝🔥🏁

[@jakeramsay]

I haven't had a runaway with my tmaxx 2.5 and it has the same pack I'm ready to drop the controller and run haha I'm saving up for a new lack like those

[@treylaverdiere7882]

how long do they last?

[@KHeidendal]

I always use lipo. Charge/drive/storage charging takes 30 minutes. Most runaways happend with 40MHz. Or the 4x dubble A batteries. Invest in good electronics never buy this second hand.

[@olivierplayer1633]

i think radio problems you have in cheap transmitters !

[@KHeidendal]

First turn on transmitter and second the car.

[@herbertdonovan5696]

What servos do you use

[@thenitronation5815]

On that vehicle I’m running a savox 1273 for throttle and a savox 2271 for steering
