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 found Futaba to be the best "normal" switch (leaving the KO Propo switch), but in 2 seasons I've had 2 gone "hard" (impossible to move between on/off) and one that started flickering between on and off.
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!
