Sphinx Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) Iv been asked to right a review of this product. Now be gental its the first review of a product that i have done Right, i received this kill switch this morning after some PM's with the maker of the Switch Blade. First off it looks great, alot of work has gone into making this. The kill switch its self is enclosed in a heat shrink. On the other end of the kill switch is 3 sets of wires. 1 to the RX 2 to the LED 3 to the coil pack So i stripped my old kill switch out and took the fan cover off to get at the coil. Started from the radio box and worked my way backwards. It all fits nicely inside the radio box Then from the radio box, under the fuel tank and up towards the coil pack. Next was to clip the female connectors to the wire, you do get some clips but i decided to use my old one and solder them on, as i dont run a kill button. Once soldered, i clipped onto the coil and replaced all the fan cover back and then tested the kill switch. I tested it with the 3rd channel, TX off and then RX off. It killed the engine everytime. I have not tested the out of range yet, because i dont get out of range issues (touch wood) Also i have not tested the battery yet, as my RX battery was full charged and so was my TX ones. Here is a video of the test. IMO i think this kill switch is well worth the Edited January 20, 2012 by Sphinx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you can see Lee (jolly-rodger-uk) has spent some time working with this to get it right. Im not saying to any one, go out and buy it now.

Jolly_roger_uk Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) I would just like to take this oppertunity to thank Gavin for kindly offering to review the Switch Blade Failsafe. Basically it has been specifically designed as a affordable high quality safety system for large scale rc cars and is not just another modified pico switch or similar and will only work with 3 channel radios. I have quite a few out there now, and so far have had nothing but good feedback all round. They are currently only available through ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...e=STRK:MESE:IT, but am working on other outlets. Please feel to ask any questions Edited January 20, 2012 by Jolly_roger_uk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
