Having one receiver per ESC is one of my methods for reliability. Even if you lose signal or something totally breaks, you have another drivetrain still running fine…

so you don’t need a canbus or a y splitter? Could you in theory have one remote for 3 different boards? do you know what the limit is?
Correct. I call it “dual independent drive”
You’re making me wonder why I have so many remotes. Yes, I suppose you could… 
I do not.

Upgrade to tape (gaffer tape if you’re rich). No need for a #1 phillips on the road.

Look for “SK12D07VG4” on ebay or aliexpress and you will find the correct replacement switch.

Does anyone has me a link to learn about remotes and different signals?
I am reading about 2.4Ghz remotes, the new Vesc6 is with bluetooth, the other like this. I really don´t get it. I just want to find the most reliable and safe option.
By the way @b264 you made me fall in love with your 2 receiver thing. I feel like it is an absoulute ABSOLUTE must. But then again I feel like if something would interfere to cancel out one for a short time why shouldn´t be the 2nd also affected by the interference?
As always thanks for the help

Woah @b264. You are absolutely right. You convinced me to be a 2 receiver lover. I guess this forum will make me eventually a second @b264

@b264 I don’t really know anything about pwm remotes, but my assumption for this to work I need to an extra receiver that uses the right protocol? Do you know what the mini remote uses? I couldn’t find the information anywhere online this product is listed.
Also your UK link appears to now go to the wrong remote.
The mini remote comes with a receiver. (if you buy from most esk8 vendors, one china site does sell it without a receiver) You can buy additional receivers from @torqueboards.
PWM is what a lot of folks are calling “PPM”, I’m not sure why Trampa started calling it that, I looked at the waveforms on an oscilloscope and they are most definitely pulse width modulated. The pulse position is not modulated, and in fact the pulses I’ve inspected have an intentional oscillation to prevent you from trying to detect/use it as PPM.
