That's a Hobbywing V3.1. There is no switch.

Takes some creativity, time and talent. Lack one and you'll end up with a mediocre wiring job.

One day I will build a car 1/3 as nice then promptly retire from RC.

Gotta have a little contrast color in there!

Thanks!

Thanks! It's a Futaba 9551. And like Mike said there's no switch, there's a button on the front side of the esc.

Sorry after I read it again I see the confusion, I mean the switch of the wires on the servo

Didn't you change the wires so they come out on the other side?

Ahh haha. Yes I did re route the servo wires, as well as the esc wires. Pop the servo open and re solder the wires on facing the other way. You have to sand the end case and get creative with how you route the wires through the servo so it all fits together again. Takes about an hour to do.

Ok cool. Wanted to do this to my airtronics 94746 but opened it up and looked too tight. Didn't think about taking the dremel to the back cover

Yeah you definitely have to sand that end cover to get some space. I've never seen the inside of that servo, but I'm sure there's room to re route the wire, just have to get creative.
