receiver switch with built in voltmeter. was created by Eric
No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationI got a couple of these off e-bay, to try, and suffice to say I've sent for a couple more!
They are just what you see, a proper toggle-switch with a built in voltmeter, so you can see what is left in your battery.
They are quite large, so not suitable for tiny models, but for use in the bigger ones, with a lot of servos, they would be ideal.
The casing is 1.5 inches long, 0.5 wide, and 1 inch deep.
They weigh 40 grams.
Mine are fitted with Futaba plugs.
I am waiting to hear if they will accept a higher voltage, for other purposes.
The item number - 260985793012

They look neat Eric, a little bit pricey but if they do the job & save a model ... or a person! ... gotta be worth it.

Somebody called me 'pretentious' the other day.
I nearly choked on my latte.

Thanks Eric they look like a good idea, when you say they only sutible for larger models would a 71" span be big enough? May invest in one for my four star 60.

Hi Dean
I think Eric was suggesting a model of about that size, as they are quite large, and would look out of place on a little foamy

There's no point in having one on an eleccy model with any form of voltage dropper from the lipo! The volts are regulated by the dropper!
Dean, i put suitable for the larger model because of the size of the switch and casing, not because of the weight!
