Then Venom ones works extremely well

It goes in-line between the receiver and the throttle servo. It detects radio interfence such as another thransmitter o the same channel,out of range and also low receiver battery voltage.

This hobby is the only hobby where you really have to have money in. If you cant afford the $25 shipping insurance then u can afford the $25 nitro gas for it to drive.

I put the Ofna fail safe on mine. For 22 dollars or so, it was the best investment into my Tmaxx.

RE: Fail Safe Choices what to but 4 tmaxx 2.5
Why does everyone say "if you can't afford it don't get nitro"....what's up with that?!?!?! Is it exclusivly a rich man's hobby? I try to get as much as I can through ebay. Not that I wouldn't like to support my LHS, but if I want to be able to get the things I need, then I have to save where I can. The fact that I don't have the best of everything, doesn't mean that I can't enjoy the hobby as well as anyone else. Just my two cents.

I had an ofna micro failsafe and it burnt up unexpectedly, I picked up another one and it did the same thing.
I also have a venom smarttemp failsafe, and it works, but cut the range on my truck down to less than half the range I got previously (both on am and fm) I think it may just be too sensitive. I've heard this complaint from quite a few other venom smarttemp failsafe users, so I would say avoid the smarttemp, but I've heard the standard venom failsafes are great.
I have a futaba micro that I have been using for about two years and it is the only one I've used so far that hasn't given me any trouble.
