Q. Are the traces for the switch still present on the pcb (could a person not bothered about the warrenty, and with a good iron and soldering skills, open the case and solder on their own switch if they so desired)?

The more I think about it, the more this sounds like the bargain of the decade. And if memory serves, there are rather a lot of V1s and V2s that were sent in for replacement that werent actually broken/ only minor damage caused by dead BECs, so that means this will be a limited offer type affair right?

Since they ARE earlier generations i doubt they would make a new run of board so My thoughts are that the traces are still there.

Don't do it -- the main issue with the V1 and V2 was the inductance of the switch wiring harness. It fried the BEC. That's why we are offering the refurbed V2 without a switch.

In the V3 we changed the method used to turn the ESC on and off, which solved the issue.
