I know ther are a few ways of killing a nitro motor, but could you stop the fly wheel to turn it of?

It's safe - shouldn't do any damage. I would stop it with the tip of your shoe, though. Don't put your fingers to it.

Ill try it next time i get it running. I broke the batterry connector that plugs into the reciver.

I use my dynomite screw driver handle (plastic) to stop the flywheel then spinn it to bdc. I also carry the screw driver when marshalling just incase a buggy or truggy runs away. Plastic end screwdrivers work, dont use aluminum or other types of metal screwdrivers, that will tear up a flywheel over time.

Doing this, In my opinion, Is the best way to stop a Nitro Engine. It takes about three seconds to do and works great. And if you are just turning it off to make an adjustment, it primes the engine, which will make it easier to start.

Thats not true you can use your finger as long as its at idle dont try if its at WOT (although i might be wrong because i can use my finger on a .12 engine but i dont know about larger size engines)
