Default Radiolink RC4GS failsafe setting help

I have read the manual, but not sure what I am reading- hope someone can help this old geezer out. I try and keep a good eye on my truck BUT this radio has the setting so why not use it right? Thanks in advance- Vic in SoCal

I dont have this radio but a failsafe is the state the RC goes to when it loses signal or you turn your radio off. They used to runaway when this happened.

I would assume leaving all of these values at zero would be what you'd want. This should keep the RC from running away.
Though as long as you turn off your radio last you dont need to worry about this since losing signal is not an issue anymore.

The truck will be out of sight way before you lose signal from the radio.

I went FPV and could still control my truck 300+feet away looking at the camera feed only, it was out of sight completely

It was more for nitro as they did not have a esc so if it lost signal it could be stuck at that throttle setting and you no longer have control of it.(Runaway) until it ran out of fuel or wrecked
