I got a kill switch free with my Chimera order,


I bought from rcpitstop ( RCD racing switch) . I installed the switch and now the engine shuts off in a few seconds.


Does anyone have an idea why? Can someone help me?

If your batt is fully charged remove the killswitch to see if it stays running or try this turn reciver off and start it wait a few minutes then turn the reciver on and see what happens

Although i like mine to go to full brake. (although means nothing WHEN the servo fries... so get the kill switch working!)

Double check the wires on the failsafe. Make sure the plug is seated firmly in the receiver and none of the wires are loose or stray strands shorting. I was having intermittent problems from the connector not being seated all the way in the receiver once.

The factory spark plug can also trigger a shut down. They have poor insulators. I always swap it out for a NGK.

A lot of people are using it. I will have to get one and see how them come set from the factory.

Yes it should turn red when you kill the engine. Are you still trying it on the It4?
Yep ,I thought it would work with it from all the posts I read

That full throttle issue is the fail safe. That channel needs to be reversed.
