Apologies is this was already covered. I did a search, but my ninja skills probably failed me.
So as I have my nitro running, the TX and RX has it's own built in failsafe.
Nice, but it's only there when you lose comms when your TX loses power or the car is driven out of range.
If your receiver battery should die, the failsafe between the TX and RX will do diddly squat if the receiver does not have power to close the throttle servo.
So I'm guessing you have to have a two stage failsafe for nitro. But what?
Throttle return spring?
Something like this:

But how does it work? I can see it plugs in between the servo and the receiver, but does it have it's own battery in to be powered independently from the onboard car battery?
I'm intrigued.
