i know the switches are junk, but the esc is less than a month old and the car has only had two or three packs through it. the last thing i want is to return it to castle and them to say, "sorry, you chopped off the switch and hard wired it, you are out of luck".

Awaiting an email from them now. It usually takes a day or two. in the meantime, i just got my new castlelink so maybe i can get into it..
