Welllllll.......I just installed my Pico killswitch and IT works, but the failsafe didn't...........I did a small battery of tests......kryptonite said:ya i was just lazy and hadnt put my pico in yet. since i added the kill switch i don't run a failsafe.
1)start rig-hit 3rd channel-Pico shuts off truck-PASS 1st test
2)start rig-give a little throttle-shut off receiver-servo stays in same position-does NOT return to idle-Pico does NOT shut off rig-FAIL 2nd test
3)start rig-give a little throttle-shut off transmitter-servo goes WOT-I tackle truck-pick it up as it's shooting rocks and grass-finally get to the rig's killswitch and turn rig off-FAIL 3rd test
So, a Pico is nice but it isn't everything! Worse thing is I switched the 25/35 to 35/25 so those tires were spinning at 1807rpm's (43mph) Overall NOT a pleasant experience. The day this hobby becomes unsafe to me is the day it goes in the trash!!!!! I am going to research and figure out what went wrong......I have a handset failsafe and the stock redcat failsafe.......BOTH of which worked BEFORE the Pico install.
