Default Safety Engine Stop system ...

hey guys...

i saw this on a site... and i have an rs4 personally, not a savage, every site ive been 2 says that this part is only 4 a savage, im just curious if u guys think i can throw it on my rs4? bcuz i havent seen anywhere say its only 4 a savage... but i wonder if anyone has it?! or how well it works? and most importantly can i put it on my rs4??? heres the decsrciption...

This is an HPI Racing HPI85068 Safety Engine Stop system for the HPI Savage Monster Truck. This new item from HPI is a Safety Engine Stop System, designed to make shutting off the nitro engine safe and easy. Just press the conveniently located stop button and the engine immediately stops, no fumbling to pinch the fuel line or covering the hot exhaust necessary. Careful attention has been paid to the design and location to prevent accidental shut-offs. The design incorporates a spring mounted nylon arm that slides against the flywheel when pressed, a safe way to stop the engine that avoids dangerous lean carburetor conditions associated with pinching the fuel line. Installation is simple, all of the necessary mounting points are already on every Savage ever made. Complete instructions and mounting hardware are included.

if it says it is for a savage then it is meant for a savage, they are specially mounted on there so it wouldnt go on your rs4 easily, you should just pinch your fuel line anyways at the end of the day, or if you're shutting ti off for a minute, just cover the exhaust, very simple, i have found that if you have a venom fuel bottle, the cap is perfectly round and shuts the engine off the second you cover the hole, also, dont use that heat sink, it is designed for a 21 sized engine, in fact you dont even need to change the heat sink, if you can tune then you wont need a better one, i have heard of people changing heat sinks and then killing their engines because they automatically think that if they can run their engine cooler then they can run it leaner to get the temps back up and gain more power, learn to tune really good on your T-15 and then buy an OS 18 cv-rx, it will last you a long time and you'll be very happy

the only reason i would reccomend getting an aftermarket head is if you live on the equator where it is really hot all the time
