Nitro Killer Bee??

[GoffeeRedCat]

Anyone running the killerRC Nitro Killswitch?? looks promising but it looks like it goes inline with the fuel line and may have tunning issues!

The spring on the carb has always worked great for me.

wait what do you mean?? I see there is a spring on the carb but what if the throttle servo dies??

As I understand it , with the nitro it's a valve in the fuel line... like a pinch test.

If there are no leaks and no restriction, it shouldn't effect tune.

Most newer nitro have a fail safe to return to neutral or apply brake with signal loss.

If the linkage/servo do not bind, the carb spring can close the throttle...or you watch it take off

No if you put a spring around the back end of the carb around the engine itself that way when the servo moves it opens the cab and moves the spring if anything happens or go wrong the spring will always keep the carb closed to where you have it set so therefore you will not have a runaway with the car because the spring will always keep the carb closed if not under power. I hope I have explained were you can understand.

Ohh I see!! I'll still buy one though I think the fact that I can turn off my rc from my transmitter just like it's big brother is awesome!!

only it takes 4-5 seconds to die after it switches off.
