I have both, I would definitely get the super bee. the dynamite does work, (for a while) but left me dead on a trip to our local sand dunes. Everything was awesome until the dynamite kill switch stopped working and would not allow the car to start. I could have just unplugged it and ran it without, but not a very safe or responsible thing to do in my opinion. I now have the Killer RC kill switch and have had no issues so far. I like that it has an audible indicator (included) as well as the super bright LED (optional). The only thing I would do different is use the original Zenoah engine mounted kill switch/button because I have found that the Killer RC one seems to stick from time to time. It would be super easy to just install the Killer RC wiring to the existing engine mounted kill switch.

I know the Killer RC is a bit more expensive, but definitely worth it.

I have both and have them set up in different cars. I have not had any issues with either. The only thing I don't like about the Dynamite one is that is has no audible alarm like the Killer Bee. In my opinion, you can't go wrong with either one but if you want a little extra versatility, go with the Killer Bee.

I have both. I like the packaging of the dynamite, but the audio with the bee is a pretty fantastic feature. I don't necessarily miss the audio alarm on my rc with the dynamite, but it's nice to have.

Check out the Hilantronics, I used the $50 one and liked it over killer bee, just another option.

I prefer the Super Bee (smaller package, more versatile) but they are hard to come by from time to time so it is nice to have an alternative and at a lesser cost. I have been using the Dynamite switch in my VEKTA for two years now without issue or complaint

Killer Bee 4CH radio setup question:

Guys I’ve got my killer bee installed in my Contrast Quattro onroad Machine. Manual cutoff works great. However, I can’t get the system to work properly when the Rx loses contact with the Tx, ie I turn off my Tx. I’m running a Ko Propo EX1 Paired to a 411FH RX. Can anyone give me setup advice as to how I should be setting my radio such that the Killer Bee activates when the RX loses connection....I’ve searched at length on the web for details, nothing definitive thus far.
