I like that switch. I found one similar to it the other day but I was rushing and never read the details that it works for NiCd, NiMh and LiPo. It doesn't say anything about LiFe batteries though I assume it should work. Now that you attached a link to the switch thats similar to the other one I was looking at I may just order one. After reading the details on the one I saw previously the single LED is multicolored and glows according to the voltage level. I have an old school VoltOmeter on the 2.5 hybrid right now. I had it previously installed inside the RPM RC10GT receiver box but I replaced the box with a new one and have not done the same mod I did to the previous one. The 3.3 is the test bed for mods. Everything that works on the 3.3 will eventually make its way to my sons truck. My plan is to keep on running the truck with the stock FOC, stock center, front and rear shafts and diffs. I want to see how much power the stock parts can take and upgrade them if they prove to be a huge failure point. For the diffs it comes down to the UE of I can find one in really good condition for a good price or the FLM ones. I like the UE ones since I can still use the RPM bulks and keep it light. The FLM one unfortunately is a full replacement bulk and diffs. The tranny eventually will get the RRP treatment and all shafts will be upgraded to steel CVDs. I was also thinking of doing a full 1/8 scale buggy tranny replacement as well. I saw a TMaxx project where this was done a few years ago. The Slipper gears will stay plastic though as my failsafe breaking point.
As far as the switch I may need to snag a Carbon Fiber sheet to make the switch mount and the receiver battery tray but I do have all kinds of aluminum bars both flat and L Shaped ones in different sizes and thickness so I may just start with that first. I have to wait til the next tax refund to purchase my desktop CNC milling machine, engraver, 3D printer all in one machine then I can make my own custom parts.
