No, I think 0 would be zero throttle, zero brake.
That’s what she said…I'll have to strap this bi+ch down to my stand.I got a feeling it's gonna shoot backwards like a bat out of hell
But shouldn't there be some sort of brakes if you loose transmission?
Set drag brake on the ESC. Best way to do it...
Oh boyeeee. I just got the red blinking death light gone a week ago and went through so many different synerios and tests and resetting and recalibrating .that crap gave me a headache
Think of it this way… The failsafe “throttle” curve goes from -100% to 0% to +100%, so think of your trigger. 100% is full throttle. 0% is no throttle, -100% would be full brake. I think.
+1
But then you couldn’t test the brake, right? If you set it, for example, at -25% on failsafe setting?

I’ll test it when I get the rig out, I’ll totally be the huckleberry. You have to hit the trigger back twice to get reverse, so I’m confident you’d just get brake. I’ll let you know.
That still wouldn’t test brake function though, you wouldn’t really know, right? Not arguing, just talking it out trying to get my mind around this.was thinking you strap a lower voltage lipo in there (for safety). Put the car up on a block (for safety). Hold mid throttle and then switch the radio off and see what happens
Well that's what I meant by strapping it to a stand .. turning the esc on first before the radio..the fail safe should kick on by default and prevent it from running off right???My fear is 100% brakes might also equal full reverse, unless you disable reverse on the esc and put it into forward / brake mode.

Sometimes the ESC wont "begin" normal operation untill it has radio signal. That is why I would recommend making it a drive scenario and then turn off the radio.
I don't take credit by anyone in this but I do had experienced by myself.I sure hope you find it ..I have watched about 20 videos on Radiolink RC4GS and of which none explain from personal experience what rate is not good and which is decent and what is bestI suppose there is no best since many have their own preference.but I'm sure for speed running their must be a certain level that is agreed by many ..I think I might just end up setting fail safe to like 80 percent ..I can test what 80 percent is like by setting the brake at 80 and see what that feels like at the speeds I normally go.i don't go over 80 much so if I can find a happy medium I'm should be fine ..now what confuses me is on Radiolink is the negative 100 and positive 100 ..
Thanks for the info.
Its a RC4GS...anything is possible
The esc setting doent effected the TX setup when in come to failsafe IMO. Except when crawler's setting with FORWARD/REVERSE then u get 80% reversed( at 80 F/S rate). Neutral is "0" btw.
The drag brake is a function set in the ESC. The failsafe function is programmed in the transmitter, with neutral setting at 0%. F/S setting mixing is apparently possible. If you don’t enable f/s in the transmitter menus than it would not be saved, correct?
