I got mine from Maplins in the UK but most electronics shops will have them. Thinking of replacing a couple of unused ones with push/lock switches in different colours.

Re: Broken throttle cut switch replacement
Should I be looking for a specific type, or voltage or amperage or other rating?

Futaba replacement switches work and are sold in many retail hobby shops and tower hobbies. Long handle types.

It also helps if your profile lists country, state, or city. This everyone asking for help should update please.

Re: Broken throttle cut switch replacement
Thanks for updating your location. Futaba switches may be the easiest to order on line.
Old tx's are another source I use. I had several 9x switches fail or fall apart on me. All Turnigy, FlySky so far so good.

Re: Broken throttle cut switch replacement
I am pretty sure (going back 10 or so years) that Maplin had a branch in Durban.
I have lived in the uk too long now to be certain
