Re: Radio kit [TANKS]

Yeah, I'm going to be sending in my receiver since I did some testing on this issue.  When I turned off my radio, the motors kept running in their last state of operation.  I would like to to run the opposite way where if it looses singnal that everything shuts down.

Spektrum has a receiver that will failsafe all channels for the 'bot folks. It's designation is the BR6000. Spektrum will exchange the receivers if requested, they are also available at The Robot Marketplace.  http://www.robotmarketplace.com/store.html
