I'll get Diemaster to tell you how.

From what I've read and from Diemaster's work, the idea is simple: the picoswitch is a relay that will short out the coil on your engine when a variety of situations occur (only 1 situation required to lead to the engine turing off). These situations are:

- Battery voltage too low on Rx
- Loss of signal between the Tx and Rx
- Tx channel 3 tells it to (user input)

It's basically a really nice switch that will save people thousands of dollars

Did I forget anything guys?

total loss of rx power as well. so if the pack goes flat, or becomes diconected somehow.

Cool...thanks for the replies so far..so i take it it is a worth while investment...$40 rather than $1500...
So it goes into the third channel???
im looking at this....

the light bulb signifies the kill switch???
Anyone have this???? A pick of their set up maybe??

OK...so i think i might have this sorted.....
The pico failsafe plugs into the third channel of your receiver....and you run some wires to your kill switch.....am i on the correct train of thought here???
