Thats quite a lot of works in order to be able to do the charging procedure faster in my opinion (unless the battery could not get out easly as nowdays cars).. and still involving removing one lead and plug the charger lead. What is the different with using extension cord coming right out from the receiver and connected directly to the battery pack? still the same 2 step procedure, take out and plug into the charger.
But hey... those article are from 2002 with a very nice on off switch that I never knew it existance. I believe he also did write tips on installing an on/off switch to the S710.. why dont you get an on/off switch with charging lead option instead? this way you will have only 1 step to charge your battery which is just plug that charger lead in
My problem is that the KO switch has some other battery cable, which I modded and it now seems like it will work, however, it does not turn on the receiver or servos, so, in my frustration, I removed it and now have a plug, so so switch on, I plug the battery in, and unplug when it is over, like Dee, I think. I will check the switch later, I think it is a loose connection to the receiver cos my charger picks up the switch and the light on the switch comes on, but no response from the servos. I have all my wiring quite neat, but I will add some protection as the may rub on the ground lightly when the chassis bottoms out.
