I have a losi 8ight that I just built. I have a monster truck background. I need an on/off switch with the proper connectors for my 5 cell hump pack batteries. My Tamiya TNX 5.2R switch won't work due to the connector that will not fit my 5 cell hump packs. Here is a picture of the batteries that I'm going to use and the switch that the batteries won't fit into from my Tamiya . Amain or tower hobbies will probably have what I need but can someone give me a link so I know I am getting the right part. Do I just purchase the proper connector and solder it onto the switch or buy a new switch. Either way it doesn't matter. I know this is a simple question but I'm still somewhat new. thanks for the help. Ken

yep, just cut/resolder whatever you need to make it work

TowerHobbies.com. Search Airtronics switches or Futaba switches. either one will do fine. Airtronic you may have to trim one connector. Airtronics DSC switch you dont have disconnect battery pack to charge, just connect to the extra pigtail.. Losi has the JST connector is smaller connector(red). Air or Fut switches will fit your packs. You also resolder Dean connectors on battery pack and switchside if you wish.
