Since one of my wires pulled out of the switch do I just tie the two wires together and run it like that?

tie the 2 together and shrinkwrap it,one less thing to fail in a race,2 out of 8 mamba's of mine still have there switches.

Bummer... I was hoping it was a novak cause those are easy to swap out switches!

You could always solder on a new switch or solder the wires together and shrink wrap...

one wire actually pulled out of the case on the switch,ill just ditch it and twist the wire together and shrink them together

Had this happen on my Novak GTB switch, I just pulled the shell of the switch apart and saw that somehow, the shell had pinched/bent the wires to the point where they just split. Just stripped the ends of the wires, heated the solder on the old wires still on the circuit board one by one and pulled off the remnants, then re-soldered the newly-stripped ends onto the switch. Took five minutes. Put the shell back on, threw a little tape around it and I was good to go.

go ahead and take the time to solder the wires Switches can work but you have to get a good one. Then it is a matter of your cleaning practices. WD-40 is hell on switches. I have also used the silicone covers. If you do choose to use switches go overboard with it. It would suck to pull a DNS just because of a switch.

I have not bought one since my gas truck days. I will say I do still have one on my LRP SPX and it has been solid. I had bad luck with JR's. You have to ask around....
I like to eliminate any junctions I can when it comes to power
Here are the covers I used for nitro 1/8

Any switch will do, just make sure it seems to be built well. The switch on my LRP TC Spec broke, I happen to have one laying around and just attached it.

i always shorten my switches with the novak one they are so easy to take apart and shorten
