Broken Power/eco Switch

[Marvintjeehh 0]

Hey guys,

Iv bought a 1987 Tamiya Clodbuster,

When i made a few runs

The engine stopped and the economic switch was broken.

I've demontated the switch, and got all parts together.

Does any1 know how to fix this?

Maybe pictures will help:

Regards

No ... but I would guess it's one or more contacts on the back plate that have worn out or burned out - if this is the case, you can either:

1 - hardwire the eco or power setting (if you use the same type of connectors you could make a jumper lead so you can easily change your mind)

2- find a genuine replacement switch (obvious I know), or

3 - look for some other replacement switch - looking at the setup there, you'll need an "on-off-on, double pole" type switch - part # JK30 @ http://www.vehicle-wiring-products.eu for example. The problem will be finding one with a high enough rating - 10A in that example may not cut the mustard.

Hmm, its not burnt out,

I just need to put the switch back together.

But how is the problem, when i made a wheelie

It felt out of the car. when i connect the pins it runs.

But i want it working the original way.

I'm not certain that you will be able to reassemble the switch, but if you need Clod parts try here: http://www.thundertechracing.com/junkyard.htm

I also don't know if he ships outside of the US, but his prices are very reasonable and it's worth a try!

You'd be looking for parts SA3 "slide switch".

Good luck!

W000t, close this topic.

I looked better at the switch, found the spot for the spring

and added the metal bars. Now its workin again.

Just glue the things an RUN it
