|  Waterproof light switch
I have LED lights wired on me and my son's scx10 crawlers and the small switches I got from Radio Shack are not holding up to the water and dirt. What is a good small switch that would hold up to getting wet that I can use for the lights? Either a pushbutton or a toggle switch, or even a slide switch would be fine. I want to mount the switch on the interior that way I can just reach down and easily switch on/off.

| Re: Waterproof light switch Waterproof on Off Switch | eBay. take your pick. or if you're good at taking things apart. use marine grease. i don't use switches any more but when i did that's how i did it. just as long as you put it back together right the metal will contact and work just fine. |

So your talking about actually taking the switch apart right?

Put a regular switch inside a balloon and just use it like that?

HobbyWing makes a great one, but it's not cheap. HOBBYWING North America — Electronic Power Switch - all purpose |
