Actually, most of the answers already displayed as above but i just wanna add somemore from i heard. usually whenever there's power failure on the TX or the RX batt...the brake will be engaged. Meaning stop, meaning stop on the track with all the moving cars and will not gone astray like others whose not using PCM & without failsafe. the rest just keep moving like hell loose but not stop dead. So this is what they said. But of course the final decision is on the organizer.

3PK with HRS is safe to use, right? becoz it is not PCM mode...is it?
JFC...... Now i am really confused

From what I am aware,

Even when you have a PCM or a Failsafe unit install, A failure on the RX battery will render them unoperational, so the throttle or steering servo will be at the same position before the RX battery failure, meaning, when you pull WOT before the battery failure, your throttle servo will remain WOT and not return to its neutral position or Brake.

Yes you are correct, Failure on the TX battery will make the failsafe kick in.

BTW, the position on the throttle can be adjusted on either the PCM or external Failsafe unit, not neccesary to be in braking position, can be adjusted to neutral.
