I have a very basic question about the power switch for our tanks. The rules
wisely require an externally accessible switch that kills power to the tank.
I've seen those huge, ugly, battery kill switches with the giant red
removable key handle. Other than that, what's a good choice for a main
switch ? I'd like something a little more compact.

 

Normally this would be no big deal, but when you consider the currents that
flow through most of drive systems you quickly exceed the 30A capacity of
most heavy duty toggle switches. Bad Kitty just sort of ignores the switch
rating as I suspect many of the vehicles in the hobby do.

 

I've been thinking of using the external switch to supply power to relay
windings and using the relay to supply the main tank power. What do you
think ?
