Garry Pollard Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 As a long time modeller, I have returned after a long layoff. I decided to go electric and have a query. With an ARF model it appears that no on off switch is provided Should I wish to insert one where would it go in the wiring? Any help would be great.

Tim Mackey Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 DONT. The only secure way to ensure both positive connection AND disconnection is to simply unplug the battery.Best practice is to remove the battery for charging anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helidel Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Many ESCs have a switch which only isolated the receiver, this is OK to use until you get back to your pit area, (it stops the prop turning,) then disconnect the battery. Even with this sw off the motor will drain current from the battery until disconnected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
