Darwrt1969 Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Hi there I'm new to 1/5 scale petrol engines and I need some advice please. I bought a hpi baja 5b ss and I'm having trouble connecting the battery wire to the on/off switch. One connecter is red and the other is black, when I put them togeather I melted the switch wires. I have bought a new switch and battery pack and it still don't look right and I don't want to melt the new switch again. Any one got any suggestions please. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsterman26 Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 u need to make sure the wires arent crossed. + to + , - to -. most of the time the wires are colour coded. normally red for + and black for - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCbutcher Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Doesnt it have plugs on each side ready to plug into the receiver and battery. Sounds like you twisted pos to neg and shorted it out. Or you just had a bad switch first time round. pics always work best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darwrt1969 Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 Thanks for the advice but it turns out I needed a 4inch wire adapter to connect the two togeather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
