Engine stopper

A simple tool that makes a difference in the RC workshop

The Engine stopper is a tool specifically designed to control the shutdown of radio control car engines. Its use is as straightforward as it is effective: it is applied to the engine's exhaust to slow it down without the need for abrupt fuel cut-off or methods that could strain the mechanical assembly.

Function and use

When working with combustion engines in RC modelling, stopping the engine correctly is as important as starting it properly. Doing so inadequately can lead to premature wear in the distribution system or damage to the carburettor. The engine stopper allows this operation to be performed precisely, by applying it directly to the exhaust outlet to cut off the air intake and stop the engine cycle cleanly and progressively.

Recommended applications

• Controlled shutdown of combustion engines in radio control cars.
• Use in the workshop during tuning, maintenance, or storage sessions.
• Ideal for those working with nitro engines who seek to extend their lifespan by caring for every detail of the process.

Aspects to consider

This type of tool is designed for internal combustion engines (nitro). It is not applicable to electric motors. Its design and size are intended for comfortable and quick use, without the need to learn complex techniques: simply apply it to the exhaust at the right moment.

Frequently asked questions

What type of engines is the engine stopper suitable for?

It is designed for internal combustion radio control engines, commonly known as nitro engines. It is not applicable to electric motors.

How is it used correctly?

It is applied directly to the exhaust outlet of the engine while it is running, blocking the gas flow to cut the combustion cycle and stop the engine progressively and controlled.

Why is it better than simply letting the engine stop on its own?

Using an engine stopper allows for a clean shutdown, preventing the engine from having unburned mixture inside, which can promote internal corrosion if the car is to be stored for a while.

Is it compatible with any RC engine exhaust?

In general, it is designed for the common exhausts of nitro RC car engines. If you have doubts about compatibility with a specific engine or exhaust, please consult us before placing your order.

The Engine Stopper (ref. ANS2010000029) is a practical hand tool designed for nitro RC car engines, allowing a clean and controlled shutdown by blocking the exhaust pipe directly. Essential for RC enthusiasts and competitive racers who want to preserve engine life and follow correct maintenance procedures. A must-have in any nitro RC pit box.
