I'm going to give that a try next. I have a servo extension wire that should work perfectly to run the battery straight to the rx.


edit: You were right! Stoked that I finally figured out what it was because I was almost ready to send it in to have it checked out. I wasn't sure it was the switch at first because it still worked... move it to off and it turned off and move it to on and it turned on... however I noticed any amount of slight pressure and it would cause it to cut out for a brief moment. Now if my car goes flying off the track the only person I have to blame is myself, lol.
