Technical Performance
The DYN On/Off Switch P-DYNR0105 is engineered to meet the exacting standards of competitive nitro RC racing, where reliability and durability are non-negotiable. Dynamite has established itself as a leading supplier of fuel system components, batteries, starters, and chargers for the 1/8-scale nitro racing community, and this switch reflects that heritage. The switch operates on simple mechanical principles — a robust on-off valve that controls fuel flow from your tank to the carburettor, preventing fuel leakage when your engine is shut down and allowing controlled fuelling during operation. The JR connector interface ensures compatibility with all modern Dynamite-equipped vehicles, whilst the switch body is constructed to withstand the vibration, heat, and fuel exposure inherent in nitro engine bays. Whether you're running your Losi 8B on the track for competitive 1/8-scale buggy racing or thrashing it across rough terrain for recreational bashing, this switch will provide the reliable on-off control you need. The compact, lightweight design means it won't add unnecessary weight to your fuel tank assembly, and the proven engineering ensures you're not losing performance or reliability compared to factory-original components.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the DYN On/Off Switch compatible with my Losi 1/8-scale RC buggy? — Yes, this switch is specifically designed for the Losi 8B, 8T, and LST2 models, which are among the most popular 1/8-scale nitro racing buggies in the UK. If you own any of these platforms, this is the correct factory-spec replacement switch for your fuel tank assembly.
- Why would I need to replace my on-off switch? — Over time and with regular use, fuel system components can wear out, develop leaks, or fail to open and close reliably. Replacing a worn switch ensures your fuel flow is properly controlled, prevents fuel leakage in the pit box or during transport, and maintains safe engine operation. It's a maintenance item that should be replaced if you notice your engine floods, fuel leaks around the tank, or the switch becomes difficult to operate.

This ensures that your new switch will integrate seamlessly with your existing pit equipment and vehicle wiring.
- Is this a difficult part to install? — The on-off switch is one of the simpler components to replace on a nitro buggy. Most owners can swap it out in minutes using basic hand tools, following guidance from their vehicle manual or exploded diagram. If you're unsure, the team at RC Model Shop is happy to provide advice or support.
- What makes Dynamite switches better than generic alternatives? — Dynamite is an established brand with decades of heritage in the RC hobby, and their components are designed to withstand the specific demands of competitive and recreational nitro racing.
