| DIY dig switch
I just bought a 250v/5A switch to use on my berg as a dig switch... How reliable are these switches? Which wire do i cut to connect(red or black)? I will just make one cut and let the rear axle freewheel instead of locking it into drag brake...will it still work? The axles need a bit of a force to run them around when the esc is off so i thought this will work. |

I used the same 5A switch for two years before switching to a two ESC setup. You would want to wire your dig switch like this for it to work properly: |

Someone who understands electronics better would have to answer that. I only know that two of my friends tried that and ended up burning 5 switches before wiring the switch according to the diagram. After that no issues. |
