What I didn't know was that it also reversed the failsafe! So if it lost the connection it would just pin it! I even ran it like that once, luckily I cought it before anything bad happened...
Very good point! I always make sure I go in and set everything up after I first bind it, and then re-bind it after all settings are close.

jammincrazy i try to just set the, speckum up at netual but i have done that before and the fail safe doesnt work.
Failsafe doesn't work??? It should work the same way as it does with it set to brake. It will just go into neutral instead of brake. IE: you should be able to switch the radio off with your receiver powered on, and the controls will sit in neutral(still powered on).
