Default Need help with Tekin FX-R

I have a HaVoc Bully MOA. My ON/Off switch to the rig is on all the time. Will not shut off.. The wiring to the motors, BEC and PK4 receiver all look right. When the battery is connected everything works right. Again my problem is I have to plug/unplug the battery because the Tekin on/off switch is on all the time. Once the battery is plugged in the rig works great. That is untill I unplug it to turn off the rig. Any ideas????

sounds like there is a faulty switch of course, you can replace the switch or send it to tekin to get it done, theres alot of guys who who take the switch right off and solder the wires togeather so you have to unplug to turn it off. Its better to always unplug your battery when your not useing the crawler, so i dont really see it as a big deal.

You are using a bec so the receiver & servo power is bypassing the switch. You need to unplug the battery to turn them off no matter if the switch works or not. I just leave the switches on and plug/unplug the battery. The way it should be done anyway.

Thanks guys. I'm new to Crawlers. I'll forget the switch and use the plug.
