Just use these in place of the existing AA's: https://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-K-K...dp_ob_title_ce . I have a set that's been solid for years and years; get a month of racing between charges.

Will these enable fail safe?

While the nominal voltage will be slightly lower than dry-cell batteries, they will work fine. For example, with those batteries, voltage on my 4PL sits at 5.2-5.3v on the display for several weeks and then I recharge when it drops to 5.0v. Even when they read 5.0v, I could still get another hour or so of use out of them before the low-batt alarm will sound though.

Fail safe is a receiver side setting - it triggers your esc/servo to go a pre-set position if signal is lost - see pg18 of your radios' manual for a description and how to set it. It is "enabled" regardless of what batteries are in your TX and would be triggered if signal is lost for any reason, not just your radio batts dying.
The passage you quoted above about a battery fail safe is likely talking about the minimum voltage needed to power the receiver on a Nitro car.
