DIY switch would be cool, although it's hard finding a microswitch rated for 5A. you could feasibly do a relay setup, but I find it much easier and simpler to just cut the ESC cable short and use an extension. I don't need to worry about it being waterproof so you can just disconnect the ESC outside the Rx box for log downloading. You can probably find a way to waterproof this setup too, if you need to.

...and yes, the sparks are huge. my hands shake when I plug in my batteries

Thanks for the pointer on the quick connect, ordered a handful for all of my Castle powered rides, now I have a use for the ports I made for all of my RX boxes to make plugging it in no harder then lifting the rubber cover.
