The receiver battery pack may have been the issue. The voltage drops significantly when using AA’s as a receiver pack. When that happens it causes a “brown out”. That’s when the receivers stay set at the last setting that they were at until the voltage goes back up to operating levels. So in this case the failsafe won’t activate while the receiver is in brown out. Happened to me twice. Started using lipo and life packs and the brown out (run away) hasn’t happened again.

Ive owned many Nitro traxxas models over the years... Jato 3.3, Revo 2.5 and 3.3, T-maxx, 4tec etc.... and never had an issue with OptiDrive causing a runaway.... if i was to place bets, I'd say its more the likely something to do with the radio not frequency hopping as efficiently as it should, Due to being lots of radios around.... 2.4ghz radios only go from 2.4ghz - 2.48ghz.... There is alot of spectrum between 2.4 and 2.48, But still... The amount of radios that were active there.. I'd say the frequency spectrum was either running short of "spaces"... or the radio just struggled to frequency hop itself...

I've had my Jato do this a couple time... I don't really know why, but there would be a difference in the way the radio was set with or without Traxxas Stability Management(The App). Meaning that if it was ON, it runs great... if it was OFF... throttle would stick for about 3-5 seconds. Change batteries in radio and always have TSM app on, haven't had the problem sence.

That GT5 needs the failsafe to be on a small amount of brake. Neutral is no good. If anyone touches the throttle trim and there is an air leak or temp drops the engine can pick up speed. Also my understanding is that optidrive is a sensor AND a failsafe. But clearly nothing happened in your demo when you turned the radio off. Just wondering if we should confirm if optidrive failsafe applies brakes or just neutral as well

My revo was doing this. Turns out my shift servo was crapping the bed so every once in a while its would cause a current draw and cause the servos to move very slowly. So randomly while on a wot pass, the throttle would return very slowly even though i was off the throttle. Pulled the opti drive and now no more throttle hang. I like having the reverse so im looking into finding a good replacement micro servo

Here’s a theory may be the throttle over extended causing it to jam wide open because on some radios when you turn up the idle from the controller lets say its cold and you need to turn up the trim it actually extends the servo past your end point setting just a thought

Wow that was a bit scary. Got very close to hit that group of people. Glad no one was hurt. 🩷 - Did the owner have to pay to fix the crawlers? - Q: You turned off the radio but, didn’t really check the fail safe since it may be in a neutral setting. Just to double check…Radio and receiver on (engine off), then hold full throttle with radio trigger and then turn off the radio to see how it reacts. - Regardless, fail safe to full brake next time, return spring and honestly maybe, different radio system and servos. That throttle servo doesn’t seem too strong. - I have experienced some 2.4g systems gain interference from power wires and who knows, with that many people driving at the same time, maybe traditional radio interference happened ?
