Finally grew some balls, got a switch from my dads big ol' pile of switches...
Went outside, the battery is about foot long, covered in a metal box, and then in a black..trashbag?

I said whatever, no need to mess with it if it works right!

Decided to just connect the wires together, and saw it was working finally, glad it wasn't the actual battery leads (where I got that idea, I have no idea).

Turned a 2 minute solder job into a 30 minute sweat-a-thon.

Since I was too lazy to pull the braid, wires out and all, it was a pain to look down, and solder the switch on with 2 hands, one holding the iron, one holding the switch, and something to hold the solder...

Finally figured out a bunch of old 2x4's works well...

Also found out, 3 prongs decide the orientation of On/Off.

Well, job well done, now I need to find out what to mod next, silly pure rubber wheels are getting olddddd.

Maybe a time for real rubber wheels?
