Yes we guarantee our items. There are warranty details on the webpage but it is basically 120 days free repair/replace and cheap repairs after that.

No one will be out the cost of a unit IF it fails or is broken.

About the previous post:
The chances of these units failing is MUCH smaller than a servo setup. THe major failures of a servo switch is:
(1) Mechanical
(2) Servo Adjustment
(3) Contact Burning

The Punk Unit has eliminated 1 and 2 with moving away from a servo. Then #3 was taken care of by adding voltage protectors on the relay contacts. That will keep them from burning.

So, unless a dig switch addresses #3 they WILL fail. Even really BIG switches will burn.

Just letting everyone who is concerned about the quality of these electronics. Don't Be... Just Zach and myself have been putting these dig switches through thier paces the past week. We are both confident enough in them at this point that they will be in our rigs for the UTRCRC competition tonight and I am sure will remain in our rigs for all future comps. As for the price, I really don't think it is that much. If you do well there are cheaper options. But for myself I will pay for quality and piece of mind.

I ordered one already, will it come with instructions showing how to wire it for either shorting the motor or just cutting power to the motor if we choose? Cuzz that's all I want to do is cut power on mine

Got mine today and hooked it up and it works great,I was able to lower my cog by not having to use the electronics tray on my KK kustoms 3.5,Mounted every thing on top of the skid.

I ran with it today in the UTRCRC comp. It was absolutely flawless and everyone who saw it was very impressed. I say its a keeper.

I love the idea, but I will stick with my 22 amp Honeywell switches.
