I have one with the Fasst system. Have not had one thermal failure at all. Yes it can be complicated but has different levels. I use quite a bit of them, and having all the different models set in and saved so all i have to do is switch up and its good to go.

what is this thermal thing? How can i prevent it! I think it happend to me. I was driving and had 6 min left in the main up by 2 laps my car shut off and took off. I let it sit for like 5-10min and fliped the switch on and it was fine! (Thank goodness that was before i got my new motor). Why does that happen?

they arent that complicated. At first you just like holly Fu**. but than you read the manuel and your look oh ok. I say get whatever remote you want! You will learn it one way or another, and people out at a rc track will be more than willing to help you.

Rcvr has an IC inside that apparently gets hot enough to trigger thermal shutdown. Futaba say prob can be cured (they don't admit there is a prob btw) if you mount the rcvr on its side rather than the bottom - that helps it cool. If its in a rcvr box, you my need to add vent holes to the box or even move it out of the box. This seem to work for some and not for others.
