  • Witch Switch??

    Alright Dudes!

    Just got back home from working up Norf all week to find my package containing my Eneloop 800MAh NIMH pack and Futaba switch posted through my door.

    Thing is, the Futaba switch is HUGE! (Quantum JR / Futaba Switch Harness Q-SW-0002) The Eneloop pack is smaller than it!

    I am looking for a simple small switch to turn my RX on and off without having to plug the battery connector in all the time.

    Do you have any suggestions?

    TIA

      Does the Gryphon switch work without a regulator? I assumed you had to have a Gryphon regulator.

        You can use it with other devices that are equipped for a soft-switch like the AR7100 receiver for example, but I don't think this is what the OP is looking for.

          Unfortunately you did not order a "Futaba" switch harness., you have ordered a third party product that will work with Futaba. These are Futaba switch harnesses:

          Futaba® Switch Harnesses

          You could get a slider switch from Maplins. Cut a servo extension lead in half and then solder the switch in to make your own harness. If you do it without cutting the signal wire then that will help with strain relief.
