Thanks for that.
We had a 5.5 on monday..rattled the house a lot but no more reported damage anywhere as was 15km deep luckally and think it will be a long time before they stop if ever...we are moving south to Dunedin and renting our house out here so will be nice to be in a quiet city for a change.

I lived in Wellington for a couple of years and felt a few minor tremors while there. That was enough to scare the pants of me (yes Australians need to harden up a bit :-).
. Switches sold out in one day, maybe try your local KO dealer.

Make the switch
That's a really cool idea....but where is the charge lead?
I was just wondering why everyone is talking about switch failures, is it the Lipo batteries putting too much current to the regular old switch? I dont understand. I run Futaba switches for about two years before I replace them, and never had one fail in 20 years of racing....I do use Nimh batteries, I only use Lipo's in my starter box....On that topic I havent had a DNF in 4 years.....

I actually stopped using a switch because of this (and just connect battery to receiver directly). If I still raced nitro, I would definitely get a Ko Propo switch!

Well dang
You know the Futaba switch I have now is tough to slide, now I want a KO Switch dangit....I just don't like buying KO, everything they sell is so expensive...I would never buy a 200 servo, that's just silly.....
but the switch just looks cool. Now I want one....where do I get one.....
