today i was out the front of my house with my nitro buggy when it just took off srtaight into my next doors fence why did it do that when it has a venom fail safe fitted ~:(
battery may have come unclipped or soemthing, so ur failsafe wouldnt have any power to do anything.

Was it the Venom Smart Temp (combo) fail safe? I had one of those and had lots of problems with it. It now resides in the bottom of my crap drawer, replaced by a cheaper (non temperature reading) failsafe that does a much better job.

Every experience I have had with Venom items have been crap. Bad Batteries, bad brushless set ups, bad radios, bad body shells (Window masks simply do not work!), just plain bad!
Don't take the chance, ditch the venom crap and get a brand you can rely on, be cheaper spending an extra $40 or so than doing a $200-$300 rebuild!

hmmm....just on a side-note, do you have a return spring on your buggy's carby??
Just that I have both failsafe and return spring on all my Nitro stuff and would advise everyone else to do the same...just cover your buttsky.
