Tf-20u

Does the stock tf-20 radio have a built in failsafe? It seems like it does cause when I turn the radio off with the truck on it gives full brake automatically.
I was trying to install a seperate failsafe in the truck but it didn't seem to be working right so thats why I am asking.

Really? Well i can't get the failsafe to wok then. I plug it into the reciever and then into the switch. is that right?
I can post a picture if it would help...

I said man twice haha. I've never used one other than built which is alot easier. But yes that's how it should go. Does it lock to full brake when you turn the remote off?

 

[Upbasher]

Yeah thas what it does. Even without the failsafe it does the exact same thing.

from experience i have found some failsafe units don't work on some 2.4 radios. why bother tho ya can get a sweet 3ch 2.4 radio from HobbyPartz.com for less than 50 bux anyway and i have a couple and they work awesome....and they come with a built in failsafe also problem solved.....

I don't thing he has the 2.4 i think he has the am.

The failsafe should go between your receiver and your throttle/brake servo not the switch. I have used the Ofna micro several times they work. Once installed turn on transmitter then truck apply brakes and push set button on failsafe. When truck and radio are on turn off radio brake should apply.

Oh, okay. had it hooked up wrong. I have the 2.4ghz not am

 

[SiCK3STSAV4G3]

Yeah man the 2.4 has a built in fail safe

 

[Upbasher]

Yeah man the 2.4 has a built in fail safe

Thats what I thought. Cool

 

[SiCK3STSAV4G3]

I was confused i thought was the old one my bad. Lol.

 

[Upbasher]

I'll have to use it on my old am radios then. have a bunch of them.

 

[savage429]

I would use failsafe anyway $25.00 is cheap insurance for a $400.00 dollar truck.

 

[Upbasher]

It's going to be an $800 truck when its finished.

 

[savage429]

That's what I'm saying.
