Adding a different switch is easy enough. I like the sealed ones, something like this:

This is funny. And no, I will not buy you a plane ticket to come over to the US...

At least yoou have a good sense of humor. Seeing where you reside at the moment, a good bomb joke must be hard to come by...

Yeah, maybe if it was the V2 and all faults were fine I would change the switch but doing that will probably void the warranty. Still don't want to take to many chances with the V1 im still running

i asked CC about extending the wires on the switch to get it to a more meaningful location. i didn't want to void warranty either. this is what the man wrote:

"As long as you don't solder on the controller itself you're set. You'd
have to splice the wire into the existing wires.

That's exactly what I did to have my switch inside the RX box .



The switch is between the two screws in front of the gray rx box.
