|  on/off switch between Lipo and ESC on a scaler?
Would it be possible to install an on/off switch on the Positive wire between a Lipo battery and my ESC? Or would the current draw be too much for the switch? I'm looking for a way to maybe be able to turn a scaler on/off without having to unplug the battery everytime. I'm planning to run an FXR, 45turn, CCBEC, 3s lipo, winch, and some lights. I may run a second battery for the lights. I always unplug on my comp rig, and I would still unplug for storage, but with a hardbody it would be nice not to have to go digging for the wires under the body all the time. Thanks! |

You'd need a really big switch, rated for at least 40 amps, or a 40A relay controlled by a small switch. An alternative would be to fit an extra Deans socket in the ESC positive wire, and fix that to the chassis. Fit a short piece of ESC/battery wire between the 2 pins of a Deans plug. Fit the plug to complete the circuit, remove it to switch off. |
