Mine has the 4 clips plus 2 plugs. And my hands shake really bad a lot of the time. So I love my switches...lol

Man, you are one L A Z Y motherf 'r LOL I may be going old school on this one, but I keep my batteries in a fireproof sack when they're in my car heading to the crawl spot. I know there is absolutely no chance of them going up, but it's just always in my head for some reason. Besides, taking the body off to install the battery is a perfect time to show off the latest stuff you've done on the rig to your friends!!

Not lazy...I just have trouble getting the small clips and the two plug put back together.Where my hands shake so bad. Plus I run alone there's no one around to run where I run. Oh and talk about oldschool I still run stick packs because. I'm worried a lipo will go up and I won't. Be able to unplug it in time to do major damage ..so kiss my a$$... lol j/k but still kiss my a$$....

I use an inline plug instead of an on/ off switch.

I hate on/off switches. I do like being able to turn my rig off without taking the body off, especially hard bodies that are screwed on.

This is very slick... Now what wire do you use it on? I was thinking the negative ESC wire. Would that be right?

It doesn't matter which side the plug is on with most wiring jobs. I typically interrupt the positive side.

I've flown planes a lot, never boats. It's been a few years though, high powered or discus sail planes and superlight slow flyers are my favorites. going through the brushless and lipo revolution in planes was flipping awesome!


I think I could get into RC sailboats too.

Hey Trump....I got those pics finally....lol Not many and not very good ones. But I was able to get out and take a couple.



I also got some lights put in the front bumper. Here's a shot of them.
