Thanks for the info! So 10 amp will fry them. The info i got from searching around was that they are rated for 6 amp continuous current. I found a few switches that will probably fit and work with some kind of bracket made to accommodate them. Once I know which will work I'll post pics, specs and info.

edit/add: my mod project is a brushless dc motor swap and remaking some of the internal components with carbon fiber/kevlar composite materials. The motor is mounted perfectly in the internal frame but it can draw up to 12 amp continuous, so I want to make sure the wiring can deliver that much power.

I feel like the stock switches should handle quite a bit of current knowing the voltages that people push through the original motors. unfortunately, nobody(as far as I've found) has actually measured the current those guns are drawing. In many motors, you end up pulling more current with LESS voltage, because the motor has to push harder to start moving. If anybody has done voltage mods and measured the current draw, your numbers would be greatly appreciated.

Part of my issue is finding an exact or very close to original design replacement switch. the trigger uses a momentary on switch to fire in full auto and there is almost no room to replace it with a different style switch.
