Tired of those teeny little radio shack switches getting hot and wasting your hard earned energy? No more! Get a dig switch that Sean Connery would use!

The "Dig Switch"

Got anything tougher than Sean Connery? Maybe in the Daniel Craig strength?

Craig is awesome... but I think a Steven Segaull version would be better. :ror:

Your motors didn't ship today Matt, we can add them no problem. Place the order and I will refund the shipping charge.

I have looked for larger ones, but anything more than 15 amps became huge in a hurry. If you guys want more power, I can get it.

Would that be the Lone Wolf McQuade version or the Walker, Texas Ranger version?

Lone Wolf McQuade would kick Walker's ass then go drink some beer:

JohnRobHolmes

Hey, nice picture.

That was the one that made me realize I gotta tag my pics. "thumbsup"

JohnRobHolmes

11-10-2008, 02:52 PM

Yeah, I bet that sucker is all over the net now.

More switches on the way now. I chose non rocker for the next batch since it is easier to set em up. I looked for some other ones but I couldn't find any that would allow motor shorting too.

JohnRobHolmes

20 more up on the site. Same body, curved arm for easier use with a servo arm.

Here's how I have mine mounted up. I used Kamikaze Kustoms' dig plate and just rearranged the way the switches mount.
