Default killer rc remote kill switch

I bought this cool little item it is very awesome. you plug it into your 3rd channel and you can kill you car just buy shutting off you radio.. very cool.. everyone one that has a 5thscale no matter which model you own should have one of these.. I have the V-2/s cause I have a spektrum radio..

OMG, WE AGREE! lol see it can happen Matt.


Kents Remote Kill switches pretty much Rock.

I have only HAD to use mine ONCE so far to shut down from a sticking throtle. but i use it almost every time i run for tuning. get up to the rpms i want to check, and Flip the switch, motor shuts down and i get a TRUE plug reading for that RPM. can really allow you to tweek your needles very well if your looking for the utmost power.

You should have bought a v1 if you want to kill the engine with your 3rd channel.

The v2 and v2-S are for 2 channel radios, or radios that have the 3rd channel already used up by some other accessory. If you dont have any other plans for your 3rd channel then you should get a v1 and plug it into your 3rd channel, then you can kill it via your Aux switch on the transmitter.

There is only v1,v2, and v2S. If you want to kill the engine with your aux channel then you need a v1.

Thanks.

BTW, We have a nitro kill switch coming soon. In fact I just did some testing with it a few minutes ago. It works awesome. We just have to work on the cosmetics and packaging, etc.
