MMP warranty issues if switch removed? - RC-Monster Forums

Hi guys,
since the MMP in my Slash 4x4 switched itself of twice after hard landings last time I was at the track with it, I was wondering if it would be OK to loose the switch at both my MMPs without affecting warranty?

By the way, maybe an idea for future ESCs:
Give the switch a plug at the ESC case. So those of us who don't want/need that switch can simply unplug the switch wire harness and put one of those little jumpers (the ones we used to jumper IDE computer drives for master/slave for example) in there.

Yes you can remove it, and it won't affect the warranty.

There is no problem removing the switch as long as you don't do it at the circuit board. I have removed most of my switches by cutting the wires about 1" from the case twist them and solder then shrink wrap it. I have had to send in a couple like this and have never had issues with the warranty.

Thank's for the info!
I'll go ahead and loose those switches then...

It would be even better if the switch wires didn't transmit power, just the signal, and "open loop" was "ON". Thus, you could simply cut off the switch and a broken wire would not shut down the ESC.
