Ive got a kill switch for the raptor that was designed for a batteryless motor and so every time the tether is pulled it blows out the fuses. is it just wired wrong or will it not work at all?

HEEELP

 

You need to read the directions on exactly where to tie in the wire from the switch. It's grounding out at the wrong spot.
I did the same on my sons 300ex. I was at a shop and saw the directions on the wall and said "that's why!!"
I cannot remember where to put it [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img] but that's the problem.

 

so the ground needs to be moved.... that doesnt make since... im still alittle confused... could anybody help me a little bit more?

 

If it's a normally open switch, it needs to ground the + coil wire when the tether is pulled. One wire on the tether is tied to ground, the other to the + terminal on the coil. When the tether is pulled, the coil is grounded and the engine quits.

If it's a normally closed switch, it needs to go in line with the stop/run switch. When the tether is in and the stop/run switch is on run, the tether allows the current to flow without interrupting the circuit. When you pull the tether, it opens the circuit and acts like you turned the stop/run switch to stop.

 

why don't it make sence? Worked fine before you put it on. Right?! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
I'd call/email the switch manufacturer and get the directions.

 

Dude, I would say if the switch was designed for a batteryless system, then you shouldnt use it on a quad with a battery. Spend a couple bucks on a ProDesign.

 

Silly me! I didn't know they made one for a battery.I think they are the same.

 

get a gunner tether, the prodesign ones don't work all of the time. Trust me, everyone knows at the tracks that prodesign aren't the best out there.
