HPI Safety Engine Stop System

[ImBroken]

Saw this setup at the HPI Challenge, & thought some guys might find this useful.. Once installed, it basically acts as a push button that stops your flywheel from spinning, and shuts your engine down. I wouldn't suggest it for racers, as it could be a problem when turn marshalls try to flip your truck on the track...

I got one on my Savage and it works great. A lot easier then plugging the exhaust or pinching the fuel line.

I have one on my Aluminum Savage. I had to modify the 3racing tank cover and the engine stop so they would fit together. It works great, but covering the exhaust works just the same. For less than $5 I added it to all the other hopups.

BTW - Bruce carries them (www.rushrc.com)

WE used this at the HPI Challenge in Orlando and the only problem is turn marshalls might accidently push the button. Also, flipping the truck could also hit the button and stop it. So, maybe a mod is in order. Something to cover the button?
Any ideas?

Your truck was the first one I had seen it on, seems to look and work very nice. I'm sure it could be modded some to prevent accidental shut off, I'll have to get one on my SS and see what I can come up with.
