Dont bother with cheap batteries from a pound shop. There is a reason they are able to sell them so cheaply, ie they are garbage.

i did end up buying the suggested items, just wondering if there is a way of getting a switch between the battery and reciever?, as the old one doesnt fit

or is it just a case of unplugging it after each fight etc

thanks alex

Alex ...
Of course you can put a switch between the battery and receiver ...why wont your old switch fit?

These are fairly normal switch / charger harnesses ... ignore the blurb calling them a receiver box.

well the one currently the switch has the end to go into the reciever, and the end that connects to the battery box just has space to fit a 2 wired attchment in, if that makes sense. but the reciever has three

so three wont fit into two

thanks alex

But there are only 2 wires involved even if the plug has 3 pins.

Hi Alex,
I use the futaba switch,it has an extra lead which plugs in to a standard charger so that when the switch is off it allows you to charge your battery without taking it out of your bot. i found that pushing and pulling the reciever connector ends up with loose connections which leaves you dead on the arena floor:sad:

My switch is on the side of a small plastic box which houses the reciever, battery and scorpion speed controller.

right the battery pack has a three pin wide attachment, even though it uses to wires. so therefofre will not fit into a connector 2 pins wide, its like trying to fit a square pin into a circle hole
