ofna fail-safe
 

has anybody experienced a radio rang reduction when using a fail-safe? ever since i installed mine i have had less radio range. when my car gets about 150' away my fail safe kicks in. the brakes go on and i have to hold my radio up in the air to get the throttle/brake servo to respond. the strange thing is when the car stops, if i turn my wheel i can clearly see the front wheels steering. and yes my rx and tx batteries are fully charged, i even tried switching to brand new alkalines. very odd- i think i will remove the fail-safe from the system and see what happens.

the radio is a ko propo ex11 presto.

Not 100% sure, but I though fail safes only work with Nicad/NiMh's packs. I use a ofna fail safe with my Hyper 7, but I use a 6v NiMh pack with no problems. You might call ofna and see what they have to say too.

good idea, thats probably the best. i will call tomorrow

I've had two ofna failsafes, and both of them were glitch boxes. One of them would engage the failsafe whenever I went through a certain corner of my local track, and the other would cause the steering to rock back and forth gently while the throttle was at neutral.

shoulda gotten a vemon fail safe lik i did :D :D
