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.
