What happens if you have a throttle servo failure, or the rx battery goes flat or becomes disconnected? Using a fail safe you will be unable to stop your vehicle.
This is where a kill switch is vital on a Largescale model. If any of the above happens you can still kill the engine and safely stop the vehicle.
One final thing, the engine will stop if you operate the 3rd channel, if you go out of range, if you have a radio glitch, if rx battery goes flat or disconnected so a runaway is almost impossible.
I personally would never run without one.

I don't play " what if" games. Your point is solid. I have back up batteries and voltage readings are digitally supplied.
 

Kill switch #1 Everytime you start your car without one your playing a "What if" Game!
also a good upgrade i loved was axle/wheel extenders. My 5t would flip over all the time and now with the wider stance it handles great

Oh dear, take it the fail save didn't work there :lol:...a good vid to show them that to run without a kill switch need to install one..;):D. A £45/$70 kill switch or a £300/$500 rebuild..

Yep extenders are another good upgrade, i've got the Vertigo extenders all round...

Yup, when a battery comes unplugged, wire cut, linkage binds, or the servo fries itself, a servo failsafe is useless. That's where the kill switch comes in handy. It works even without battery power.
 
are you guys saying there is a kill switch on your radio that turns the car off or the red kill switch on the motor? if it is on the radio where is a good place to get one?
 
ddm and tgn sells the killer rc superbee kill switches. cant beat them. nice to kill the engine from your third channel besides all the safety greatness it offers.
