| "i can't reach my on/off switch"
For those of you running stocker esc's. While wrenching away, I noticed that the hole spacing on the on/off switch is the same spacing as the unused screw holes on the back side of the gear housing. (unless you are still 'batwing' equipped) A much easier access spot for a switch than the electronics tray. But keep in mind, anyone running lipo's lives by the words; "My off switch is a Deans Plug!" Last edited by The Jackalope; 04-03-2012 at 02:24 AM. |

Did you lengthen the wire to the power switch as mine won't reach that spot the wire is too short? Also did you re locate it to the rear or front axle? Thanks

My esc is at the front of the elec tray, so I went to the front axle with wire to spare. But I've moved the esc a couple times now, and my axle is tilted back towards the chassis too. At this point in my build, it justy worked. |
