Replacement switch for ESC
In my collection of vintage ESCs, a couple of them have had some clunky on/off switches added in place of the original switch. Does anyone have a preferred mini switch they would recommend? It doesn't have to be period correct. Just looking for something a little nicer than the standard hardware store switches.

Re: Replacement switch for ESC
The Tekin switch probably has the most correct look.
I have the three wire Hobbywing switch on one of mine (the Tekin was out of stock everywhere at the time). I just cut the third wire off. Its actually a nice switch and it mounts face up.

This is the Hobbywing switch, on an ancient Tekin esc. I just cut the white wire off, it is for the led.

Re: Replacement switch for ESC
That does look like a good switch layout, and that's a nice chassis layout. How do you get your wires to stay routed like that? Servo tape under them?

Small zip ties. Tying wires together makes them more rigid. A little heat will also help form the corners, making the wire conform better.Frankentruck wrote: ↑Mon Aug 02, 2021 2:36 pm That does look like a good switch layout, and that's a nice chassis layout.
