How to install SuperBee kill switch

[GJB56]

Two part question:


Will the SuperBee kill switch work with the stock radio TX (RDR-2C)? Sure hope so since I already bought it and radio upgrade will be a while.


It there a link or video on how to install it? Primarily on the ignition coil side?

There's a video.but it's pretty easy unplug red kill switch replace with new kill switch only 2 wires and route the wire to the rx...

Btw, I found that soldering the wires to the new stop button is much better.

i have resisted soldering them, if i can find a good one! i may do that but all seem kinda fragile. remote kill !! went for a while without a button on unit.

Btw, regarding always stopping it using the kill-switch... there are warning labels on the tx and rx saying that turning off the rx first will damage the servos. What's that about?!

My RAMTech Kill Switch was made to work with the stock Redcat radio, Here is a link and the video on the same page.

ALWAYS, Tx ON first!-----> then unit rx ON

the remote kill only grounds out ignition, the Tx/Rx still are active and ON

Always ,(after kill) rx unit OFF first -->then Tx last

other wise if u turn rx on (without TX signal) it just blast the servos with unsignaled power pulse

I only have 2 channels so remote kill can only be achieved by Tx off.

I only have 2 channels so remote kill can only be achieved by Tx off.

i would only use that for an absolute emergency, not regular shut down.

 

[Ice_2k]

Yes, that's how I intend to use it until I get a radio with more channels.

Found a pretty detailed video. It helped me so it may help others.
