They all have killswitches bro. This is the on/off switch. It physically shut off, I was at full throttle when it did, so it had all that momentum still. And as you know, if you shut your rig off you have zero power or control.
@Seandonato73 you have a drawing of what your talking about?

Ahh yes. Similar situation when my connector became unplugged from the receiver. Luckily i was not going full speed when i lost control and it coast to stop. Dodging the trees the whole time. I was watching it like no don't hit it don't hit it.

Here you go John. I think This is similar to what Sean is talking about.
The red is your standoff blue is gonna go on top of stand off maybe a flat piece of metal then you can swing it left to right and swing it to the middle when the switch is on to prevent it from turning off

@John Parks so your telling us its the on/off switch and NOT the killswitch??? Are you sure? sorry had to do it

 

[Seandonato73]

Bad drawling, but I think you'll get it.

I have wired in a dirtbike tethered kill in place of a key, I am sure you can use as a switch and find a nice one...

Between you and haric my dumbass got it . I'm going to order a misc container of stand offs and work on it again when I'm back home in a week

I'm running 23/19 now and this thing runs out of gear stupid fast. Justin is sending me the next gear up so hopefully it helps tame it down a touch

I was going to suggest this, but they normally just ground out the coils, not really helpful in this application. I had thought about mentioning them then went and played with one I have here, makes the connection once the "key" is pulled out. So it's a normally closed switch and the "key" holds the switch open. Dunno if they can be had the other way around.

Hardwired is the best bet no switch.

 

[John Parks]

Thanks for the help guys, I'm really unsure at the moment again

Almost ready to just hardwire it but I don't want to unplug battery everytime

Got her back together, went with the kraken
lightweight tower as a buddy had one cheap. Also decided to go with the pushbutton protek switch. Managed to cover the original switch hoke up with it, drilled 2 holes to secure it. Also put my antenna piece on instead of fuel line

 

[Rep732]

I like the switch John

 

[Haric]

Switch looks sweet!
