The video link for the Youtube video didn't work, and your photo (when clicked to enlarge it) produced your photo, together with pics (ads) of outstanding Asian women on the Wirral 8O
A direct link to the best source of the switch would, as others have suggested, be very helpful. :thumbup:

If you type in "SKYRC 10 amp Power Switch" on ebay you will get a list of different vendors selling this item some Freepost and very much cheaper than others but all apparently the same.

This is the description from Amazon:
"...SKYRC introduces the POWER SWITCH, a tiny MCU controlled on/off switch for your radio controlled model.

A simple push button operates the switch meaning to eliminate the problems associated with intermittent contact of an ordinary mechanical switch.The sealed unit is plastic and can easily be mounted to the transponder mount of your model or anywhere else you can mount it using double sided tape. (Two kinds of bottom covers are included, user can change the bottom cover.)

The switch also features a LiPo mode, by turning this on, the switch unit will auto detect low LiPo voltage and cut off power to protect your LiPo from over dis-charging. This of course can be turned off if you have other safeguards in place or using NiMH/NiCad battery.

Additionally, the power switch informs you about the remaining capacity and condition of your battery pack..."
