Sorry if I come across too strongly, I do not mean to offend anyone, but equally, I feel passionate about running our cars as safely as possible, as they have the potential to actually kill people, much more so than any of the other R/C cars out there.
Please don't paraphrase what I was saying... if you wipe out somebody, and it turns out you didn't have a killswitch, I would bet that the victim's lawyers would have a field day, and the media would latch on with rthe usual headlines - ban them etc etc, thus threatening the hobby itself. Remember in this day and age, people seem to have no problems agreeing that stuff they personally aren't into can be banned.. one serious accident (especially to a little child) will see the dogs released....
As for making killswitches compulsory, I reckon they really should be standard from the factory if we want to be responsible for the safety of our cars. Interestingly, the fifth scale track in Sydney will not allow a car to run unless it has a working killswitch.
voo2doo, "who the hell are we going to wipe out there?" Can people honestly swear black & blue that they never run their Baja anywhere near bystanders (and with a runaway, "anywhere near" could easily be 100 yards or more, let's not even think of the Bajas running on the street... The person most likely to be hit is the person who is unfamiliar with the cars, not the guys with the transmitters.
