Default Removing On/Off Switch from ESC

Do you simply cut off the switch or is there more to it? Thanks

....or you can pop the case off and follow the wires to the board and solder it there.

at the risk of sounding ignorant, what benefit does this accomplish? other than not flipping a switch.

less wires to mess with. And the weight savings of 0.002oz or whatever the switch weighs.

Plus you will never switch off your speed controller and forget to un plug your battery and run it down. With no switch you have to un plug your lipo when your done playing.

Switches are a PIA in any RC except for maybe some airplane fuselage..Plug and unplug battery for power on/off.One less thing to mess you up..Simple
