locky Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 The on/off switch has broken on my old HPI rotostart. Seems you cant get a switch from HPI so wonder if anyone has found a replacement.from electrical shop. Otherwise I'll try a cordless drill.

bunnie Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I cant 100% say as I done it ages ago and no longer have it but it sure looks like the one I used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locky Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 I used this switch (Momentary Square Push Button Switch N/O SPST AC 125V/3A 250V/1A) as a replacement but it did not last long. I got a batch of 5 and they all stopped working, which suggested current loads were too high. So tried a different type. a rocker switch (Rectangular Momentary Rocker Switch Car dash light (ON) - OFF 12v 16A SPST) and so far this has been reliable.
