Kraton MMX8s on/off switch failure???

[Jeremy15086]

So, for some reason my Krajave's MMX8s power switch isn't working... I plug in the battery and the esc just comes on. It won't turn off with the switch. Has this happened to anyone else and if so how did you fix it?

You could buy a new harness like this.

Or.. you could cut the switch off and solder the wires together.

Great... because I love re-looming wires! It still works so for now, fiddlestick it!

Better on than off..

This happens to mine when the switch gets wet. The switch is the only thing about the ESC I don't like. Better off buying a hobbywing button and soldering that on instead lol.

That's EXACTLY what happened. Is it now shot and needs to be replaced?

Nope, it will dry and work just fine. I use a datavac (mini compressor) to blow dry my rig after I get it wet. Including that switch
