i wouldve imagined the same thing but apparently the reciever just continues the same task if it goes out of connection range.

that is a less than ideal failsafe.

Connection drops happen for different reasons as well… not just range.

This is not a risk i would take as it doesn’t even need to be out of range, maybe just a disconnect and swoosh, it’s gone again.

Yeah, surprisingly big/important part of building an Esk8 is checking your remote fail-safes.
If anything happens, whether it be out of range or signal interference from cruising through a parking garage or a nearby cell tower, if it does anything except … nothing, and the board begins to decelerate, then you have a problem.
It should be said though, IMO, the board still going instead of instant 100% brakes into guaranteed street face is preferable for the first time you find out you don’t have your fail-safes set properly

All remotes need to fail safe to 0% throttle. Anything else is wrong and dangerous. Was this an all-wheel-drive board? Or did you go backwards full speed into something
