I would like to get a kill switch for my r/c that i can control from my radio. This would be great in case of a runaway, and a good way of shutting off the car. Does any one know of a company that makes one?
if you have a run away usually you wont be able to control the car so if you did have a kill switch on the radio it wouldnt do anything in a runaway. if you have a little extra money, dont mind the extra weight, and atleast a 3channel radio you could make one though. just get a extra servo(must have about 50 oz or torque or so) and one of those 2 position petcocks that are on some atvs and ect(the petcock has to have close to the same size nipples). then hook up the servo to the 3rd channel and find a way to make it turn off the petcock in one position and on in another. then set the 3rd channel so its open and get a failsafe for the extra servo, then set the failsafe so it turns the petcock to off when the signal is lost. then you have 2 ways of turning it off, either use the 3rd channel button or turn off the radio. if you have a run away it should shut off the engine unless the battery is disconnected or something like that.
I think somewhere in there is the plan for a automatic cofee maker.
