AIRSAVAGE

I've noticed a lot of people don't have their on/off switch in the pre-made place on the MT. Where do you guys put it? I can tell that my switch is getting hard to move, probably getting too dirty.
Thanks

I didn't notice the pre-made location, and there were no directions. So, I used a dremel to cut a slot into the radio box. After that, i noticed the other location.

Many people don't use switches and just connect up the battery direct. Switches are prone to failure (as you have seen they get pretty cruddy) and that can lead to a runaway.

i made a smal plastic part that i secure the switch so it wont set to off in a crash or bad landing

seems to work.. just have to tighten the screw often

Mad Wax

Used tie wraps to secure it around the front right rollcage - between the fuel tank and RC plate. It's a waterproof switch not the rubbish Futaba standard switches so it should be ok with water/dirt (my other one was intermittent after a while)

This is what I made to secure the on/off switch. Simple but works very well..

HeatFire

okej.. i took your idea teamchrome... but i made the.. hmm arm that goes out double... so that not the securing part wont jump off so easy even if the screw is to loose

idiot safe:P

but that's a really great idea

Stuffing the switch in a balloon works....wrap the balloon around it...keeps most anything out or buy one with the rubber boot installed...radioshack has them so does napa autoparts

Get the red FG battery connectors and attach to the side of the radio box. Easily accessible with shell on and a lot more reliable than switches, I've had switches turn themself off due to vibration in the past.
