Looking for a switch that fits in the original location, has a charge lead and doesn't stick fall apart or whatever. The futaba one sticks after a few races, and I see three versions of Jr switches, a spectrum, and a few others. Which switch is the best.

I don't run one typically. I just run my battery lead outside of the battery box and connect it before a race. Had too many switch issues in the past to trust em anymore. Although I do hear great things about the KO Propo Digital switch.....

If you insist on running one, the JR seems to be a decent one.

Tried Airtronics, Futaba and Spectrum switches. All at some point had issues. And I even had covers over them. So no more switches for me. That includes my electric vehicles. Cut off the switch from the ESC as soon as I install it.

Same dont run a switch, just something else that can play up. I did run the Ko 2 switch, worked well, just be careful if you run lipo, you leave the battery connected when the switch is off and it will drain/kill your lipo.

Ditch the switch, helps to be handy with the solder iron to get it neat and tidy but I've never had it come apart, I did have one wire that broke inside the casing but that was after a year+ of use. I've had that happen with other stuff before too. for the price you can get plenty of back ups, don't forget to get an extra set to setup a charge lead as well.

oooh I like the idea of the locking plug. Gonna have to get me a few of those.....

There's no need really to even switch connectors. Just use the regular servo lead on the rx pack, run a servo extension out of your rx box, and use a safety lock like this one.

i don't use a switch either. had problems before. i just run a couple of leads outside of receiver box and use deans micro plugs. one goes straight to the battery and i can charge the battery if needed.

Yep. Me to. If you use the deans micros just make sure you get the polarities right or you'll be sorry.

I run the Spektrum switch. I like the fact that it has larger gauge wires. As far as them going bad, they are in a very rough environment. It is an item that i replace every so often.

I tried the Flysky switch, I wont be trying it again. While they work good, they don't last, the mounts are a bit weak as well & can break easily if not careful. I have heard from a few people that had similar problems with them as well.
I didn't have mine long, on a 1/8 nitro buggy, it just stopped working, was fine the day before when tested, then I drove 300+km to a race, got set up & went to start buggy, no power to the receiver or servo's, switch had fried itself.
Maybe they just can't handle the abuse they get from a nitro buggy & offroad use, might be better in something on smoother ground. I now use a normal switch (sanwa) & haven't had a problem.
