engine kill button

[savagebasher]

I was browsing hpi's website and saw a kill switch for the savage and wanted to know if it was good. Thanks for any help, SB

no bacause it stresses the motor when shutting off

Please explain how this stressed the motor. I hear this a lot when it comes to cutting of the fuel supply to kill the engine. I do understand that this leans the engine out, but only for about 3 seconds. Does this make significant difference in the life of the engine?

that item bumps the flywheel and stops the engine. Some people hate it "it can break the connecting rod" other like me say BS i been doing it for 2 years now. That item will NOT work on the XL tho
