I have a slight problem, I bought this fails safe and it worked great with my futaba servos, but I recently got a HS645 servo for the throttle, and the fail safe turns the servo in the wrong direction, going to full throttle, now I need to set it every time I drive, wich sometimes doesn't happen and bad things happen is there any way that I can reverse the prality of the servo motor, without serios problems? I know that it will void the warrenty but that doesn't realy matter.

If you want to reverse the direction that that servo travels you have to go in and swap the outside wires on the pot as well as the wires on the motor.

Yes you would, otherwise all you will do is reverse which way your throttle brake works on the trigger.

All you will do is fry the servo doing this.
