Baja Man, you do understand that a killswitch is not the same as a failsafe, don't you?

Definitely a Rovan product http://www.rovansports.com/en/products.asp?i=92 Note they show the nett weight as 13kg, which sounds more realistic

Given the good reputation of the existing Rovan/Predator range. I don't see why the Big Monster should be anything but good value

My guess is that they need room for the drive belt, as it obviously passes under the tank on its way to the front wheels

This looks interesting. If it is built to the same quality as Rovan's 2WD buggy and truck, this could be a winner http://www.rovansports.com/en/products.asp?i=92

Gee Lan-Ed, your signature sure takes up a lot of space, and appears to relate to some sort of science fiction movie or game which I am unfamiliar with. Is there any chance you could make it smaller?

Mine work fine.. maybe I live too far way for the haters to have any effect

How hard was it to get the whole thing yellow?

I think you have a misunderstanding about electricity. The capacity (eg mAh) of a battery hs no impact on the receiver at all, other thn lasting longer before going flat. On the other hand the voltage of the battery can cause damage if it is too high. The DDM battery is a nominal 6 volts, which...

I just bought a folding keyboard stand off eBay. Puts the car at waist height - perfect for $30 odd! Like this http://cgi.ebay.com.au/NEW-X-FRAME-ADJUSTABLE-LIGHT-MUSIC-KEYBOARD-PIANO-STAND-/170520820405?pt=AU_Instrument_Accessories&hash=item27b3d53ab5

So what did eBay say when you lodged a formal complaint? Because complaining here won't do diddley squat

Cutting through the chaff, the original poster should stick to normal petrol and save his money...

Kreb, I now see what you meant. However, while you can criticise me for my reaction, clearly I wasn't the only one who misunderstood what you wrote. I do apologise for my misunderstanding. The goods thing is that a whole lot of other people had the killswitch message reinforced through this...

WHAT???? You are joking aren't you?? Do you really think that the killswitch is there to protect your buggy??? Unbelievable! It is there TO PROTECT POSSIBLE VICTIMS caused by a runaway! I honestly don't know whether you should be using a large scale car if you have no idea of the horrible...

You are wrong. Fifth scalers racing at Luddenham in Sydney, Australia are not allowed to compete unless they have a killswitch fitted I would go so far as to suggest it should be illegal to run one without a working killswitch!

Er no, actually. If the receiver loses power for any reason, the failsafe won't work, but the killswitch will. If the radio is working, even without failsafe, just turn off the Tx for a moment and the killswitch kills off the engine - turn the Tx back on and work the steering & brakes however...

Fail safes are a total waste of time on gas cars in my opinion. All they do, even when set up right, is give you a false sense of security that you won't have a runaway. Failsafes were invented to make AIRCRAFT come down in a predicable manner, so are irrelevant for our cars. You can totally...

There are too many suspension units fitted? :D

You are kidding right? There is no such thing as a land-based 2.4Ghz radio. There is absolutely NO difference between 2.4Ghz stick radios other than the whistles and bells. You should be able to get a really good 4 channel (or even 6 channel) for not much money. So forget about a 3 channel...

Well it makes more sense to have it there on the slower turning spur rather than the crankshaft speed turning main clutch....
