I would never race with a switch other then an electronic switch, your two power connections don't connect at the exact same time your entire on off switch AND battery get smoked, it's happened atleast 20 times to me in the last 5 years till I switched. Literally switched to electronic, no worries if it doesn't connect perfectly it won't light your battery up like a torch and melt your car. Pisses me off thinking of all the times it happened right when I got to the track and that crap happened first time I turn the battery on. Even 5 minutes after a charge and the shit would light up burn my fingers unplugging it (ripping connection apart$ n also make me rip apart my battery box n see a fried battery. 40 minute fix right after I watered the track. Stupid crap. I get a little anal now and put shoe goo on the wires to toughen them up so no black and red wires touch.

Thats the only reason I decided to give it a try. However I want the peace of mind of a direct connection. I will be going back to micro deans or another direct connect.

i use to use servo extensions and just plug them in but actually had some small issues with them starting to cut out as they got older.
if your going to do a disconnect style switch always do it to the negative lead
