Any suggestions on replacing power switch on a Redcat RC-MT10E?

Can you post a close up pic?

I will when I get back home in a few days. I can describe it if that would help.
Thank you for the reply.

We can guess all we want but if its a built in on/off in esc near impossible .if its the 1 wf showed its a lot easier task..show switch and get so better info.

when you slide the switch nothing happens. The switch no longer has a “click” sound when you slide it in either direction. It’s as if the external sliding switch no longer moves anything inside of it. I was thinking of bypassing it and just use the battery plugs to turn it off an on then I remembered the switch box area is also used in calibration.

You might contact them here , the pics from Redcat didn't show much and they just might replace the esc.

Is it a 2 wire or 3 wire switch?

When I looked up the ESC for it, it shows one with the external switch. You can actually take those apart I believe. Never had to do it, but it has screws in the switch cover, so maybe it is serviceable. If not, you can just grab a new switch and splice it in.

It is a 3 wire switch hard wired to the ESC. I contacted Redcat and they did say it would be a covered warranty repair with a new ESC. Thanks to everyone that helped.
