HiLantronics RC Engine Kill Switches

HiLantronics is aimed at owners of petrol and gas RC vehicles — typically large-scale 1/5 buggies, monster trucks and on-road cars — who want a programmable engine kill switch built locally. The kill switch is a safety device that lets you remotely shut down the engine if the vehicle becomes uncontrollable. HiLantronics suits serious large-scale hobbyists who want an Australian-made option, including a waterproof variant for vehicles that see wet or muddy conditions, and a local point of contact for support and warranty.

HiLantronics is an Australian-made programmable engine kill switch brand, which is genuinely uncommon in a market dominated by imported electronics. Being designed and produced in Australia means you are buying from a local manufacturer rather than relying entirely on overseas supply chains for a critical safety component. The range includes waterproof variants such as the HLT5000WP and HLT8500WP, alongside the HLT7000BL, giving large-scale petrol and gas RC owners several local options depending on their specific use case and conditions.

Yes — and as an Australian-made brand, HiLantronics is naturally well-suited to the local market. We currently stock three HiLantronics products in our Australian warehouse: the HLT5000WP and HLT8500WP waterproof kill switches, plus the HLT7000BL. That covers the main use cases for large-scale petrol and gas RC owners, with waterproof options for vehicles that run in wet conditions. Because the brand is locally made, supply and support are more straightforward than with many imported electronics alternatives.

Our current HiLantronics range consists of three programmable kill switches: the HLT5000WP (waterproof), the HLT7000BL, and the HLT8500WP (waterproof). The waterproof variants are the natural choice for any large-scale petrol or gas RC vehicle that may see rain, mud or river crossings, while the HLT7000BL covers drier use cases. Always confirm that your specific engine and ignition wiring are compatible with the kill switch model you choose, and follow the supplied installation instructions carefully for safe operation.
