DBXL Kill switch stuck?

[RickD67]

On my DBXL I pushed the red killswitch and the motor shut off -but the switch didn't pop back out and now I cant start it again! Anyone know how to fix this?

 

[evssv]

thats a cut out button...not a killswitch dude?...going by thia im assuming ur running with out a kill switch then?

 

[Seandonato73]

Give it a few taps, it may pop out. If it doesn't, or sticks again. Replacement is about the only option

 

[evssv]

welcome aboard btw?

 

[RickD67]

Yeah the red button on the engine

 

[evssv]

[RickD67]

Ok so I took the switch out and the motor still won't start? I've never had any trouble starting the motor before
Anyone know where to get a replacement switch?

ur ignoring my Q I've asked u twice now ...?..do u have a proper kill switch fitted..if so that button is irreverent

 

[RickD67]

No kill switch just the red button on the side of the motor

 

[evssv]

ok...so ideally u need a kill to stop u having runaway or hitting/injuring something/sumone?.....as trust me it happens ?..red button avaible on ebay dude? or proably ur local hobby shop?few quid
and yes that vid again?..as i love it as its not my rc??

imaging being at the park/field with people round u...not directly around u but say on other side of park ect.......yeah not good is it if ur rc does one?

Umm...kill switch.

I had the same thing happen to the pressure actuated ignition grounding device(AKA kill switch) during my second outing. Apparently, I reinstalled it 90 degrees from the original orientation after installing a failsafe/kill switch and that was too tight of a fit which made the button stick.

Did you disconnect the button from the coil and still can't get it started?

 

[evssv]

ok u know what i ment..but its not the kill switch which u should b worried about imo..?...is it?

Yes the switch is disconnected but engine still won't start?
