How do I wire this baby up? I am guessing that I add 2 wires and solder it to the existing switch? Any help is appreciated

You have to solder one wire on the positive (red) and one on the negative (black).Then run this 2 wires to the kill switch module.Mine came assembled.I cut the wire and installed 2 connectors so I can remove the engine without oppening the radio box and disconnecting the wire from the module.I also drilled a hole on the plastic engine cover and another on the radio box to run the wires through.

My PB's have all worked flawlessly since I got em. I havn't tried any other the other brands since there's no reason to fix what ain't broke.

I got a pb kill switch and it only has the surface mount pc board LED can I add one to mount outside the box without buying new kill switch?


I am running this on a 4PK radio set up if just had a way to add a feature on main display screen that ch 3 was on or off would be ok too.

Best investment you can buy for your large-scale rc’s. I put the killer bee in all my rc’s except the boats. WHH has an EKG kill switch I use for boats. I use a 3pk and use the #3 switch with the led light. Awesome product never had any problems. Love the fact that when I pull up my rig and hit the third channel it cuts the motor off while my buddies have to bend down and push the kill switch. Pretty sweet. With the 2.4 GHz fast system and the kill switch I ride with the most confidence you can have with these little missiles. Enjoy the hobby.
