Etronix ex2g FHSS failsafe not working.

[Deano]

I bought three of these setups for me and my sons.

Anyway, apart from being hard work to bind by requiring several attempts using various methods, I can't get any of them to failsafe properly.

Two of them, I'm using with Fusion Exceed setups and one with an associated RTR brushless setup.

If I switch off the TX with them powered up, they all go into power. Mine(Fusion) is the worst with it going to quite high forwards power. The other Fusion powered buggy goes to lower forward power and the Associated setup goes into a slow reverse.

I've tried calibrating all the ESCs and even setting the neutral point to wide on the Fusions.

I have tried binding a different TX without any change and then rebinding the original, again no better. The throttle trim was set neutral before binding.
I did try a servo on the throttle output of one setup and when the signal is lost it almost returns to the starting neutral point. So I know that it is definately not working correctly.

I emailed Etronix and got a reply saying either go back to the shop or send the sets back to them. I've replied by asking them for some proper advice because I'm not paying to send three radios back to them. I still have the option of going back to the shop but thought that I'd ask on here first because a lot of googling hasn't found any answers for me.

I have thought of using seperate failsafes, but I think that since the rx is driving the throttle almost back to neutral then the seperate failsafe probably won't work, though I'm open to correction on that theory.

I know they are a bit cheap but I couldn't justify hundreds of pounds on radio gear so please don't just tell me that you hate these and I bought rubbish because that won't help me.
