guys whats a good 3rd channel kill switch for boats. had a boat on the weekend not want to stop . has a mod carb and it stops on the test bench but after a good runn you cant shut it down. ive had a cupple guys say the same thing has hapend with ther mod carbys , even bleepin on of gas it dont shut down.
so i was looking into useing the 3rd chanel with a kill switch , but just seeing whats out there that can be hard wired to the black lead coming of the coil. not just a fail safe on the servo but actual switch..

cheers....

cool i was looking into one of them . what model did you get.???... so thay are the ones that only work when you use the 3rd channel. thats what im looking for.... i dont want one that shuts down the servo . like these inline fail safe things... but one that will shut down the motor if the trasmitter is turned of or 3rd chanell is used.??
cheers mate .
ill see if any one in australia sells them or go direct.

These don't kill the servo
Just kills the ignition so you can still steer.

You just have to match up depending on what controller you are running, I'm running the 3PKS 2.4 and use Kit 2 V1

These are the ducks nuts, go one in my monster truck, 1/5 scale and got one ready for the boat, no matter what happens the motor cuts.

I use the Killer Bee in all my RC's. Kent will custom make what you need in the lengths you need. For boats I use the version #2. Great guy to work with
The Killer Bee Kit 2 kit connects the Killer Bee in your battery box directly to the ignition coil on your engine. The wires are securely soldered to the connectors and then heatshrinked. To kill the engine you just flip off the 3rd channel switch on your transmitter, or turn off your transmitter. Kit 2 includes the Killer Bee heat resistant wiring & zip tie.
Tony at WHH is also working on a great idea for an engine cut off.
There is a way that he can get real close to 100% fail safe, and to do so we would have to construct the units here in the US.
The system would be very simple and impose a small key-fob, and a receiving device that would be less than 2" in size. This key-fob would is very small and could be in your pocket, Velcro to the back of your transmitter, or even in your pit-mans hand.
The small receiving device will be rechargeable and will be water-proof and can be mounted close to the engine. Only two wires need to be connected, the mag ground, and the block ground.
In event that anything went wrong with radio system, mechanics, etc. If you depress the key on the fob it would stall the engine. The range is about 500 feet, so well within the range of operating model boats. You may want to see how he's coming on this new idea.
