place the kill switch between batt+ and board + that will kill power to the CFX (or any board).  then ensure all other component negatives/gnd run off the board and not directly wired to the battery

Here is the wiring diagram that shows the battery pack and a kill key setup

The image you supplied is the recharge port wiring. OP specifically said removable battery and no rc port...


Take that ridiculous thing off.

Hi ken

A recharge port with kill key is a switch.The high amp kills switch gets wired in the same way. Centre lug of the switch would be the “board negative” and the other two solder points are essentially interchangeable; I just wired it up that way on a CF 7 and it works.

Interesting note - I had to go into the override.txt file and change the preset for the switch to get it to work properly

Do you really need a kill switch with removable batteries though?

Thank you George Lucas for starting it all...
