Help with ignition system

[Z.hb71]

Ok how would I splice/add in a on/off switch into my custom ignition system? If it's never going to work how should I redesign it? Like make me a diagram plz, i have really no idea on that would work because I'm uneducated when it comes to makeing custom circuits and stuff and I really don't want to burn my truck down. This is the diagram and I don't know where to add a off/on switch so could someone tell me?

Are you talking about an on/off switch for your electronics or a kill switch on the engine?

No I'm tryna wire 1 of these into this system

If you are using a failsafe with remote kill, i wouldnt bother

I was kinda thinking the same thing. Geuss it would clean up the system alot more without a off button. But my thought was, if the kill switch malfunctioned how would I turn it off?

What failsafe are you gonna use?

Was Gunna use a Dynamite with the super bee boat end but I just decided to pay alittle extra and get a super bee. Haven't heard of them failing.

Your engine doesn't already come with one of those?

No because it's boat syle ignition and it's different. not sure on how a RC boat uses a of switch cuz I couldn't find any diagram or anything

The boat kill button wires up the same as a car kill switch, at least my 26cc hydroplane does

 

[crucialRC]

Is it like a car with the coil? It should have 2 terminals on the side of the coil where the off switch should be connected. That is without the kill switch connected. Do you have any pics, Z??

Could I see? My ignition system is this

The black wire attaches to the black wire on the kill switch and the ground ring obviously gets grounded.

That's wild. Never seen one like that. You should be able to wire the switch in series with the red wire. Just break the red wire from the coil and put the black wire of the switch on one side and the red wire of the switch on the other side.

Ok

 

[Scruffy]

Splice the wire in here and connect the switch
Then plug red wire in one side of the switch and the black into the other
