stebro Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 some would say the killer bee but a lot of us use the battle switch. Cheaper than a killer bee and just as good This http://www.technobotsonline.com/battleswitch-rc-relay-10a.html or http://www.active-robots.com/servorelayxl-10amp-rc-relay.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carmst74 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Super Bee is an excellent kill switch. Ive had a battle switch and killer Bee V2 but the super bee is vastly superior. The data logging function steps it out from the crowd alone. I fitted one to a customers car recently and was much easier than than the battleswitch. Plus i blew a battle switch some how Super bees in stock here http://www.northernirelandrc.co.uk/shop/article_28/Killer-RC-Super-Bee.html?shop_param=cid%3D10%26aid%3D28%26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coxyone Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Not tried any others so can't comment on those but the Killer Bee has worked perfectly for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killer RC Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 (edited) some would say the killer bee but a lot of us use the battle switch. Cheaper than a killer bee and just as good This http://www.technobot...-relay-10a.html or http://www.active-ro...p-rc-relay.html The Killer Bee is no longer in production. The Super Bee has replaced it. It's half the size. Works with 2, 3, or 4 channel radios. No need to buy a new kill switch if you get a different radio. Has adjustable rx battery voltage cutoff. Gives you a low voltage warning by flashing your LED headlights. Buzzer output. 6v LED output (up to 100 LEDs). It also has adjustable glitch sensitivity, if you like to run your car at long distances and you want the kill switch to ignore the small split-second glitches. Inline disconnect on the ignition cable, plus its shielded and filtered to stop radio interference.Then there's also the soon-coming engine temperature sensors, and data logging adapters that plug in to the Super Bee. How are you guys fitting the Battle Switch in your battery box? The thing is huge. (That's what she said) Left to Right.

The battleswitch i find it easiest to fit it circuit board up just where you have the rubber flap so that you can see the led status Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norcoforever Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 (edited) How are you guys fitting the Battle Switch in your battery box? The thing is huge. (That's what she said) its a nice tight fit =p but seriously it is ridiculously tight hopefully getting a super bee asap Edited April 14, 2012 by norcoforever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killer RC Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 (edited) What does the super bee retail at? $59.99 USD for the car kit or the boat engine kit, with ignition wiring, red push button, and free Buzzer. The twin engine kit is $74.99 with free Buzzer. Plus there are various 5% discount codes usually. Ready to install. No soldering, stripping, cutting required. The only modification might be just drilling a hole in your battery box for the wiring to get inside. Optional remote mount LED w/ cover is $9. We don't include the remote mount LED free because we make 4 different colors to choose from, so it's best if it is its own separate product that you choose. Or if you already have some 6v LED headlights on your car then you don't need a remote LED at all. Just plug your headlights into the Super Bee and then your headlights become the status lights. Solid on = engine runs. Flashing = Engine killed. Slow flashing = Low battery. Edited April 14, 2012 by Killer RC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toys4x4boys Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 (edited) How are you guys fitting the Battle Switch in your battery box? The thing is huge. (That's what she said) No problem, they fit easy, in fact they fit well, don't move about. I've run them in the FTX Punisher radio box too, and thats a fair bit smaller than the baja one. But choice is good. Edited April 14, 2012 by toys4x4boys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 2 amps, but for longevity I prefer to limit it to four of our 12-LED light pods. That's 48 LEDs.
