Hi Steve T44 I think that the fail safe unit is connected in line between the receiver and the servo and prevents the servo from moving on its own in the case of a signal loss I was thinking that it might be a good safety feature? and mabe motor noise interference causing the servo to glitch how do you suppress the radio noise ? Ive used small ceramic noise suppressing capacitors on RC car motors but what can you use on the BIG motors?

Does this item cut out one particular servo channel on loss of signal? If
so, it might but it depends what is causing the misfires. Finding that out
is the hard part.
Last battle I experienced some misfires with my setup (GTVe marker fired
electronically with a prototype Anvilus controller). Next battle I'll be
testing the new Anvilus electronic trigger interface with an upgraded radio
(PPM to PCM). So far in tests the trigger has been rock solid with no
misfires. I would like to add that with the PCM radio the tank seems to
run smoother.
