Ho can you do such a big mistake of putting on-off toggle switch in the main lipo path !

Just bypass it otherwise you will be in trouble.

Rana has a point. Well, a couple maybe.

It is hard to judge size, but that toggle switch looks like it might be rated in the area of 5A to 10A max. (Probably closer to 5 than 10.) It might live if you never operated it while the motors are running. Still, it is going to be a weak link in the chain.

And I hope that you put lock washers under the nuts on the other side. If a nut comes loose you'll have a high resistance spot. While 20-30A is flowing through there, you'll get enough heat to light that wood on fire.
