Taming the dreaded 10s spark - RC-Monster Forums

You are correct, it won't happen when you plug the batts in, it will happen when you turn on the switch. You will just be transferring the spark point to the switch contacts instead of the battery connectors. IMO it doesn't make much sense to me to use a $33 switch as the "sacrificial" sparking point to protect the main connectors that cost probably no more than $5.
