you're still powering the receiver or servo depending on how you wired it. unplug after you're done, and you won't have this issue. even turned off, electronics still draw power, so even if you just used the fxr internals, you'd still have that problem if you left it plugged in.

Just hard wire the FXR switches on all the time and tuck the wires in the case. That will force you to pull the battery to turn off the rig every time and they wont get in the way. |

X3... as a wise, (not so) old fellow-crawler once posted, MY ON/OFF SWITCH IS A DEANS CONNECTOR. Words of wisdom if I ever heard'em.

I tried leaving the switch "on" on my Goat, with CC BEC powering the receiver, but I didn't like the electrical arc every time I went to connect or disconnect my battery plugs. I make sure to unplug the battery whenever the truck is not in use, but I also use the ESC's power switch to minimize the arc.
