Avoid Runaways with the Futaba FSU-2 Fail Safe Unit

When signal interruptions or battery drops occur, having a reliable fail safe can prevent costly mishaps. The Futaba FSU-2 Fail Safe Unit safeguards your RC cars, trucks, and boats by bringing the throttle back to a stored position, helping you recover control quickly.

Practical Protection for Every Driver

The Futaba FSU-2 is designed for hobbyists who value predictable responses. On loss of signal or during receiver voltage sag, the unit moves the throttle servo to the preprogrammed setting so models do not accelerate unexpectedly and are easier to retrieve.

Simple Programming and Battery Notes

Programming uses one button and a status LED to confirm settings for straightforward trackside setup. It supports 4.8V and 6V NiCd receiver batteries and is optimised for NiCd chemistry, which offers consistent discharge behaviour compared with other cell types.

Specifications

  • Length: 0.85" (21.5mm)
  • Width: 0.6" (15.5mm)
  • Height: 0.3" (7.5mm)
  • Weight: 0.18oz (5g)

For model owners who want a straightforward safeguard against interference and low battery events, the Futaba FSU-2 Fail Safe Unit is a clear choice to enhance safety and protect hardware.

Yes, its compact size allows installation in smaller electric car radio trays as long as the model uses a 4.8V or 6V NiCd receiver battery.
The FSU-2 is optimised for NiCd packs. Other battery chemistries have different voltage characteristics and are not recommended for reliable fail safe behaviour.
No separate power supply is needed; the FSU-2 uses the receiver battery and connects to the throttle channel to manage the servo on fault conditions.
It operates in PPM mode and therefore will not function with transmitters using PCM mode; check your transmitter output mode before fitting.
