Does anyone have good or bad luck with the Duratrax fail safe ?

I was wondering if there were any negatives to running this on my Savage X.
Thanks,

I had one in my Revo and it worked great! It should work fine in the Savage. I'll be putting one in my LST2 as soon as I have a spare few bucks!

i bought the OFNA fail safe and it's great when ever it activates. Because you save alot of money in the long run.

Maybe someone could explain to me what I'm doing wrong. I bought 2 duratrax failsafes. Put the first one in my MGT. Worked fine for about 2 tanks. Then I would go out maybe 30 or 40' away and it would shutoff, most of the time I could hold the xmitter up higher and it would re-engage but lately it just cuts the throttle and hits brake whenever, even if xmitter is sitting right beside the truck. Flashing green and solid red led, will have to cycle power on receiver for it to re-engage. This says voltage is dropping below 3.8v. How can this be when I have replaced the betteries twice in both receiver and xmitter. Okey, I figured, bad unit. Bought another one, put in my ThunderTiger SSK, pretty much did the same thing, without the truck running I would walk away and could here the brake engage and disengage randomly. I emailed Duratrax and they said send it in but how ironic is this with two different failsafes on two different trucks doing the same thing?
