LinkMT, actually, other people have done similar things to other blasters. You will need a switch rated for the appropriate amount of stall current though, so it doesn't blow.
I'll see if I can measure the stall and continuous current at high voltages soon.


Most switches I've seen of this size are rated around 6 amps. That is a contentious load rating. It would likely handle a larger current for the breif periods over which a motor draws stall current when they rev up.

Looks good! You should also embed a photo of what it looks like and not just the diagram so someone glancing at this knows what you're talking about (this is a good candidate: http://imgur.com/a/lthrB#poIYfAT but I don't have access to the imgur generated thumbnail sized bbcode and I don't want to embed a million pixel image)


Thank you.
