I'm not sure if the OFNA micro fail safe will work with low batt but it does work if you turn your Rx off..
I just installed the OFNA micro fail safe, ill be testing the range of it just turn the tx and rx on and walk down the road and see if it has frequency loss HAHA

i use a duratrax failsafe it has voltage and frequency but if you set up the spectrum right it also has a frequency fail safe

Yeah, a fail safe won't work if your Rx loses power (they'll be no power to make the fail safe do its job).

you need to put a return spring or rubber bands on your carb-slide so it will close the carb if your Rx loses power.

Trust me, i learned the hard way :/

if you have the 3300t reciever in the truck the tx display will tell you the rxs voltage. not to mention it also has a low voltage alarm built into it so the tx will beep at you at a preset voltage.
