While we are discussing great ideas, why doesn't anybody build a
switch harness with a better charge plug. The servo plugs most of
them use for connecting the charger are totally inadequate for any
application where they are frequently connected and
disconnected. Ever have one short out and melt in your hand while
plugging in the charger? I have on more than one occasion. Like
Minnie Pearls brother inspecting hot horseshoes, I didn't hold on
very long. :-) Trouble was some of the melted plastic stuck to my
fingers. :-(
The best switch harness I have ever used came with my last Evo. I
bought Karlton Spindel's last Evo and he threw in two extra switch
harnesses. About the only fault I have found is that it is so
big. The switch is about the same size as a Hitec 225 servo. One
lead has a standard plug for connecting to the receiver while the
other lead has a hefty plug that matches Multiplex batteries. There
is no charge lead. Instead, the charger plugs into the switch with
the same connector as used for the battery. Since I don't use
Multiplex batteries, I cut off the battery plug and install a
standard battery connector. I used the Multiplex battery plug to
make an adaptor for my Sirius Charge charger.
