I have 2. One on my HPI Baja 5B and one on my FG Baja. Love them both. No problems with either.

What do you want to know about them?

I have one on my fhmt and love it. My friend just bought a baja ss rtr with a hitec radio and even after I installed a diemaster pico failsafe (another must have) in it for him and it still got some kinda of interference and jumped a curb at half throttle into a neighbors yard w/kids playing near by. It was only 100 feet away from us at the time and luckily I was quick enough to flip the 3rd channel kill switch before it hurt someone. I'm not saying that the hitec is junk just that I run the same area day after day with the 3pm 2.4 and never experienced sh*t like that. Needless to say he spent $189 the next day on a fasst system and I actually just got done installing it for him. I have never had an issue with my 2.4 fasst system and I get crazy range out of it. The only drawback is that I went to get a fasst rx for my 1/10 electric evader and they want 99 bucks for it. The evader is 149 rtr! So I passed...

Just simply plug the pico into the 3rd channel on the rx. I also ran 2 wires from the pico to the killswitch on the engine and soldered the one to each of the killswitch wires(polarity does not matter) This allows you to flip the 3rd channel slider on the 3pm to shut the car down. Place the pico in your car/truck rx box and use 2 sided tape and/or foam to hold it in place. Drill a small hole in the box so the green light can be seen. Here is the post install on a baja and an FHMT. The baja was a tight fit and can only go in the place I put it. This makes the light hard to see and made the hole hard to drill.....Also, notice how the antenna on the 2.4 fasst is only about 6 inches.
