Jolly_roger_uk Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Replied to your PM buddy. Try connecting the Switchblade to your steering channel and move steering full left full right and see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter2021 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Jolly Roger can you help please my son bought a switchblade V2 and fitted it but it kills when turning car only? King motors km 001 car and flysky fs-gt3B remote. Very puzzled about this thanks mate 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack1 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Have you checked the condition of the battery, as it could be a voltage drop issue caused by a high drain of the steering servo affecting the LVC of the Switchblade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter2021 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Hi Mack the car and battery are brand new only had car 1 week and the engine is not even run in properly also hope it's not the battery as it hasn't been used much in a week,bought it from RC modelez but they don't seem to help much, the batty has a full charge also cheers Mack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack1 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 What type of battery and mah battery is it? As for Rcmodelz I can say they are a very good shop and very reliable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 New batteries can be faulty. Servos can bind causing heavier than normal current draw. I would detach the steering arm from the steering mechanism, then check and see if the servo still trips the killswitch. Basically....your servo is now NOT operating the steering, so is under very little load. What you need to do is pin down the actual root cause. Assuming the unit is working correctly other than this issue, you should have some flashing LED indicators, which tell you why the switch has acted to kill the motor. Pre-arm mode (double flash) would indicate that the battery voltage has instantaneously dropped too low. This can happen for a number of reasons, bad battery, bad power switch, bad battery / switch connection, brown out. All of the above will be amplified as you pull current i.e. When working throttle / brake hard. kill mode (on with short off pulse) would indicate that the receiver has gone into failsafe (if set), interference, radio signal loss etc. Bare in mind that this could also happen if you have accidentally set a mix in your radio between throttle and the kill switch channel. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter2021 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 The blue light does double flash as soon as you turn left or right on steering and cuts engine, steer servo seems to be working normal I'll try taking arm off though, the battery was working fine until we fitted kill switch unless the kill switch has done something to battery, have to check tomorrow about mix on receiver but the throttle works fine it doesn't cut out on throttle or brake, just steering. To Mack's answer km motors standard battery 2000mah and 6v.thanks guys really appreciate the help also 😊👍🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Double flash does say it's a low votage issue. Just a question of finding out why now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack1 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I originally had the losi 3000mah 6v nihm battery. After about 5 to 10 minutes of run time it always cutout. Took me ages to figure it out, eventually tried a lipo (I do have high voltage digital servos BTW ) battery which worked wonders. Turned out the nihm battery couldn't supply enough power so the LVC of the Switchblade would cut the engine. I'm running a 5t with hitec D845WP on steering with a Switchblade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack1 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 There maybe a cheaper option. I'm not 100% certain it would work. There is the brown out lead that is available that might be worth a try? Switchblade brown out lead 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter2021 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Thanks Mack I've got a battery the son can use a spare off mine ill try that first 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter2021 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Figured out my battery is only 500ma and sons is 2000mah so mine is still no good, might just take kill switch off for now it has a fail safe built in to it anyway so my son can use car again because it's just sitting . But thanks guys 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
