Sharkfat78 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Looks like you've got yourself a blinder there mate! Grab yourself a Switchblade killswitch from Jolly_roger_uk and you'll be cooking on gas (pun intended) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feedtheinferno Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Looks great dude! The fact that it's orange really does sway me too Do you mind telling us how much you paid for a brand new build ss? Considering their new price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 That looks nice mate. Check all screws, fluids, etc. The build looks really nice and he's kept it well - always like a well-presented sale item. Now get it dirty!! Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom3624 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 And don't forget - MUST have a kill switch - permits you to remotely kill the motor in a runaway, or will do so automatically if there's radio loss. A FAILSAFE is not the same - this will set steering and brakes as you wish in the event there's loss of radio contact - but only if the battery is connected and still good. Al.

nigel63 Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 thanks for the advise,i wont use it till its fully safe to use,a killswitch is top of the list but not sure which one to go for as yet so any input would be most welcome.

Sharkfat78 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Get a Switchblade mate from Jolly_roger_uk. Simple and every effective. And for a few extra quid you can get a slightly different version so you can connect lights to it if you want. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
