Cant go wrong with one of these:

http://www.rcheaven.co.uk/shop/view_...uct=FAI20NMW26

Its tiny and waterproof.

The instructions that come with it tell you how to fit it and program it. It also says on the website:

Operation:

-Install between the receiver and the servo you wish to control
-Turn on transmitter and receiver - the unit will blink
-If used in a car, set the amount of brake required at failsafe
-Push and release the SET button (see picture) whilst using the Tx to hold the required brake setting - unit is set
-Test operation by turning off Tx
Servo should move to the preset position
-Turn Tx on and the radio should respond normally after a small delay

BUT WILL IT WORK WITH MY SAVAGE 25 RADIO GEAR

I have the one i provided in the link and it works with the stock Savage LE radio gear perfectly, it has saved my trucks rear end loads of times. If you added up the cost of a new car for every time its saved my car, you would be looking at the £30,000's lol
