I bought a savage xs. LOVE IT!!!. Almost more than my nitro. Almost!! Lol.. Anyway in the extra parts bag there is a small plastic piece that has on/off on it. "___" . Thats the best
Way to describe it. Whats it for?
 
That's the on/off switch for the battery pack to the receiver. Basically you hook up your switch to the receiver and then there's usually a plug that the battery goes into. It allows the user to just flip the switch to turn on the electronics instead of opening the battery box to unplug it. Some people like myself bypass the switch and just plug the battery into the receiver. Some of my cars have on/off switches and some don't.
 
Do i have a switch n dont know it? Dont think so. Pretty sure I'm just plug in.
 
A picture of the piece sure would help. It sounds like a switch cover. I'm guessing there's probably a rectangular opening in the middle of it for the sliding switch. If you didn't get the switch it can always be added.
 
I dont have a computer. Just a phone i dont know how to add photos to my posts.. Lhs said hpi uses the same plastic blank for many different trucks. So its just an extra piece.
