Default on/off switch help

Hi my ax10 has a little blue esc that has no on/off switch I was wondering if there was a way to put on in the red,white,and black wires from the esc to the spectum receiver without recking anything.Eric

Generally the black wire on the 3-wire connector goes along the outside edge of the receiver.

Why do you need an on/off? plug the battery in it turns on, unplug it it will turn off. Most esc's pull power anyways when you leave the battery plugged in, I don't run an on/off on any of my cars because it isn't needed. plus it helps to remind me to unplug my lipo's

I've always cut the switches off the ESC's I've run.

I feel unplugging the battery is allot better than having a switch. Less mess in the chassis,less wire to worry about. Regardless of what battery type,I've always unplugged my batteries if the car is going to sit for more than 5 minutes.
