Default novak goat 3s

hi one of the wires has fallen out of the on/off switch for the goat is it possible to just bypass the switch and solder the two wires together ?

im thinking that when the battery's plugged in the powers "on" and i think its the first switch to turn on so will it matter ?

thanks Adam

Yes you can, most people do this mod anyways. It keeps from accidently turning truck off during a comp, just remember to unplug the battery when not in use.

Just an FYI, that happened to mine twice before i soldered them back in place. About a week later, mine smoked. Sent it to Novak and they said "bad mofset". They said they think the bad switch connection caused it.

Been running mine with no switch for a few months now. No problems.

I did it to mine about 5 months ago and no worries yet.
