ESC switch question and Hobbywing Ezrun troubleshooting
I have an Hobbywing Ezrun 80a 1/8 that needs the switch flicked at the base or switched back and forth quickly to turn on. After it is on, it will cut out after a big landing. Can I replace this switch with a Losi or Novak esc replacement switch? They both have on/off and a set button but not sure on compatibility.
I also have another Ezrun that just makes the motor twitch a little but no full revolution of the pinion. At first I thought I cooked the motor after a 15 minute main it was at 190F. I have since added a fan for my stock Fusion motors. I have tried two motors and same response. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Btw are u using the fusion or old hobbywing motors? They run hot n will eventually spoil as they are 2 pole n not good with heat.
I suggest u try the new hobbywing motors if buggy is 4168 if truggy is 4274.

Been there...try this cheap big switch:
Mount it horizontally and you're good to go...

Shortcircuit the RED and WHITE wires of the switch, and let the Black wire of the switch free (that means you just cut the Black wire and do NOT connect the black wire with anything. )
In such a way you can use the ESC but you cannot set the programmable items any more.
But if u need to set again just let the 3 wires touch again. It's rarely u need to do the throttle thingy

Can you short the Red and Black wires together while leaving the White wire intact? When you close the power switch, that shorts the Red and Black wires. If this works, it would leave the setting capability in place. In case the setting switch needs the return wire in place, you might want to try removing a bit of insulation on the Black wire and soldering the Red wire to the Black wire while leaving the Black wire still attached to the switch box.

Thanks for the advice SuperEK shorting out the switch wires has fixed 2 of my Ezruns now.

80a ESC switch issue
Hey guys...
New to the forum...but greatful that this forum has come across this issue...as I just experienced my 80a EZRun switch turning off and on in the field.
I'm pretty good with a soldering gun but I'm not sure what you guys mean by short circuit the wires??
Can someone explain to me the best way to keep the throttle setting capability intact? Do I need to cut the switch straight off and then solder wires together? Do I then replace the old switch with a new one?
I'm running the stock E-maxx tq tx and when I have the money will upgrade to a 2.4ghz.
Thanks in advance!
