Default Failsafe for revo 3.3

I have a revo 3.3 and I was wondering if I should purchase a fail safe? What is a good type to get, where to get it from? I've tried a lhs and they said to order it off line.

Revo 3.3 comes with the opti drive fail safe.
Mines worked for over 3 years, when l tried to run another fail safe, [ venom ] it had a fit, you have to remove the opti system to get it to funtion properly, its a pain in the butt, l'd recommend using the opti failsafe thats built into it. Read up on it and set it.

It depends on what model Revo 3.3 you have 5309 does not have optidrive but the 5309 does. Iv always used ofna and futaba failsafes and worked well for me. Also give towerhobbies a try.

I have revo (5308)
With the stock opti drive the truck will shut if gets low battery voltage or mixed radio signels.

Get a better radio with the failsafe built in, ala DX3S or FSST.
