Yeah but its hard to get to with the body on. I dont want to have to take off the body everytime to flip the switch. Also the battery is longer than the chasis. The cover for the battery doesnt fit. Its pretty snug so i dont think it can slide out tho.

I went with option 1, im definitely not slicing any wires lol i just need it to run at this point. The switch is long enough to be put on the outside of the chasis - pretty cool

Happy new year everyone! Our porsche 911 gt1 is coming along nicely, and slowly! I have a problem im having a tough time figuring it out. Im done with the chasis and im trying to connect all the electronics together. I have the Fatuba 3PRKA radio and the hobbywing quicrun 1060 esc. The radio control comes with a power ON/OFF switch and the 1060 esc also has a built in ON/OFF switch. Everything runs and operates smoothly WITHOUT the radio control power switch but i need it because its the only one long enough and designed to fit on the other side of the chasis. My problem is i dont know how to connect the radio power switch onto the reciever, basically no throttle. The pictuer included im trying to show the 3 available channels. Ch.1 is for steering and Ch.2 is for throttle but it does not work when i connect the powerswitch to the esc power switch. ps - the hobby wing esc powerwtich has 3 colors, black red and white while the radio powerswtich only has black and red.

Thanks everyone for your input! Ive decided on Futaba 3PRKA for radio, hobbywing 1060 esc, and arrma ads-7m v2 servo. Also going with translucent green, tamiya ps 44 for exterior color. We are very excited!

I have faint memories of my older cousins building these things. My son loves all things mechanicals and i think RC cars might be a good thing for us to get into! I am completely ignorant to the world of RC, here are my questions. i bought a tamiya 911 gt1 street and i want to know what type of radio, esc, and servo i should get. Would a 5 channel be overkill? What size esc does the gt1 take or are any esc good to go? Im thinking of a Smart esc that could monitor different datas. Would any servo do? Looking around the forum Hobbywing is a popular choice. what should i look for when purchasing these components? any help and tips are welcome and we are glad to be apart of the rc and tamiya community!
