Petition for new switches

[brushlessboy16]

Today while running my truggy along with Eovnu87435ds and his buggy. Both cars are running the MMM v3. upon landing jumps the esc shuts off, come to find- the switch gets flipped to Off by the force of the landing. this happened numerous times to both vehicles.

Castle Creations please include switches that match the quality of your speed controllers.

Sure, I'll vote yes, but I usually replace them anyway...

With them changing switches you wont have to(hopefully)


i just cant have that happen on the track.. I need to replace mine or bridge it. havent decided yet.

I usually mount mine the opposite way so the impact turns them on rather than of off.

If using a better switch means the ESC will cost more then no. I'm fine with cutting off the switch and grounding the wires together or solding the traces on the PCB together. The only thing a switch is handy for is re-binding my Spektrum.

My switch is mounted facing up. with the slider at the top perfectly vertical and a landing shut it off. no side-to-side motion on the truck at all

if landing a jump is shutting it off then its a switch position problem, not a switch problem. moving the switch would cure your problem.

I believe the switch should be mounted in the esc case. There are enough things to mount, and enough wires.

I plan on just cutting my switch off and installing a switch from a PC power supply. They are very good quality switches and should do the trick nicely.

The impact of landing flipped the switch off... And Eovnu's car has the swtich mounted laid down. and hard landings flip it off too.
orientation doesnt change it.

I personally dont like our switches either....but I have never had one shut off at any point while racing. Not in 1/10, or 1/8 racing. I think its all about how you mount it. I always mount mine in a front to back orientation with the car and always put "on" towards the front. ( a lesson learned running 1/8 nitro )

I've never had it switch of but I've had a couple of the switchs just stop working. Just cut it off & solder the wires togeather.

i vote no don't need to change switches or get rid of them like to have an on off switch takes the hastle out of remembering to turn on radio before u plug in batts even when u get older u tend to forget and you end up with a smash up truck
