External Fail Safes vs Electronic on/off switch?
Yesterday I had the unfortunate experience of watching a runaway 
. My buddy was out behind his house tuning his motor before we were heading out to the track, when bam.. there goes the buggy. went at least a quarter mile before hitting a square concrete curb. The RC8 took it pretty well considering. Now I, and him for that matter, run Throttle return springs. So now Im on the quest to find more security. I have read about the Robitronics in-line fail safes, and read some on the KO and Robitronocs electric on/off switches. I run LiFe receiver batts, so from what I've read the Robotronics is the way to go. My question is does the on/off switches offer the same, apply brakes, features of the fail safe? I run Nitro almost exclusively, so which is the better option, the On/off switches or just in-line fail safes. All help and info appreciated.
