  • What are these two features on this Kodrily X60 switch harness?

    I am using this harness for its main switch. But what are the female connector, and the tiny slide (switch?) ?

    The Female Connector (Left Arrow) - This is an External Programming Port.
    It allows you to connect a Program Card or LCD Program Box to change your ESC settings (like brake force, punch, low voltage cutoff) without having to unplug the main fan or receiver wire.You simply plug the 3-pin cable from your program box directly into this port while the car is powered on (and neutral), and the box will read the ESC settings.

    The Tiny Slide/Button (Right Arrow) - This is actually the "SET" Button (Setup/Calibration Button).
    It is a momentary push-button (not a slide switch) used to calibrate the ESC to your transmitter and to enter programming modes manually.
    Typically, you hold this small button down while you turn the main switch ON. The LED will flash, allowing you to "teach" the ESC your remote's neutral, full throttle, and full brake points.
    Factory Reset: holding this button for a few seconds while the ESC is already on and in neutral will reset the ESC to factory defaults.​

      This type switch was popular back with glow and gas powered planes and the port was used to charge the 4.8V battery used to power the electronics. If they are using it as you say it that is not what it was designed to do. The slide thing is just that it slides a cover over the port to protect it and keep debris from getting in it.

      From pictures and description on Amazon the small servo connector in the port is not used and the switch is just an on off of power between the XT60 battery connectors.
