- In this video i give a look and demo of a prototype kill switch for 1/5th scale gas engines that will give nearly a 100% failsafe operation and it does not require a battery to properly shut the engine off in a runaway situation
Great job on this project. The scope worked great as a visual showing the switching process. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks buddy, there will be a follow up in a few weeks with an actual PCB. I'm working on the final board layout now. Thanks for checking it out
Nice project. Great detail.
Thanks Bluegroove
Very informative video, definitely need more options for kill switches 👊🏻
Thanks brother, as you know a lot of time and money go into these vehicles so having a kill switch you can rely on is super important
Nice! I have never used said killswitch before. Something about it steered me clear. You would definitely have a market if you chose to make a good one to sell. Nice work as always!!
Perhaps the fact that they suck may have been what steered you clear!? You have good intuition if that's the case. Thanks for checking it out
New to gas but i have had my nitro car run away when the receiver pack died. Small 1/10 so it would just run into the bushes and get hung up on the brush. Not a 60 lbs $3000 rc. Could only imagine the horror. Nice DIY! Looking forward to the end results 👍
Hey Alterd, oh i can only imagine the damage that occurs when one of your 150mph rockets crashes...ouch! Thanks for checking out the video
Very interesting Brian! I’m always interested in a better kill switch. I am very surprised at how well it worked without protection as I’ve always thought the ignition on these engines would be super noisy!
Look forward to future research on these!
Hey Todd, the relay does help isolate the pic from the emi and i had some more ferrites on the coil line and a bunch of caps at the breadboards. I was kind of surprised that the scope showed as little high amplitude noise as it did. Thanks for checking it out
Great job my brother👍🏼🤜🏼💥🤛🏼 I know exactly what you mean by those remote kill switches. I haven’t found one that works right yet 😂 I would be interested in trying something like this bro 👍🏼
Thanks buddy, i should have a soldered up version in the near future
Great information 👍
Thanks PaintenDave, hopefully you found something useful in there. Thanks for checking it out
@@RCWalletVacuum of course man💯
Taylor RC has the best kill switch available. Cheers man
They make great engines so it would make sense their kill switches would be top notch@@paintendaveextremecollisio8057
Bro, that’s sweet I would order one for sure!
Hey buddy, once i get some testing done and shrink it down i may try and get some out there. Thanks for checking it out
@@RCWalletVacuum 👍🏼👍🏼🤙🏼🤜🏼💥🤛🏼
Very cool 👍
Thanks Cyclone
