Just add the failsafe before the servo....this should be acceptable.

will the servo set to neutral position again? otherwise the current is not broken as the servos still on the positive and negative wires

Bang bang

The failsafe will return the servo to a position preset by you ....just twiddle a screw to set the failsafe position.

Ive always used the FS1 but the Xtra seems popular .....but a different method of setting the failsafe position.

I still have the FS1 in several machines. Just not in my spektrums or robots where the switches and speedos have their own failsaves built in.
