Went down to local hobby shop, they have a small scaler course.









Was working well, i bound up the front end and tried to twist it out with servo. The hitec 7950 was too much for the plastic knuckles Luckily i found a set of al knuckles, and had a set of "hideous green" chubs (thanks Stelerzman) Didn't have any simple green to soak them in, so on they went

I know lighting can be a pain sometimes. So here's a picture for inspiration. Well, I hope it's inspiring:

Is there anything I can help you with, head lights, tail lights, etc? Where are you stuck?

My main issue is the Axial NVS, i dont want to run the turn signals and brake lights. And it doesnt seem to want to work properly. When i power it up, it blinks once, i then have to hold the aux button and flip the on off switch. Then the light come on, but there is a small flicker to them? dont know what the issue is? maybe ill just get one of those cheap ebay light kits, and use the controller. Anyway i have some lights now

It's been a long time since I had to deal with an NVS. I installed one in my first build, aToyota HiLux. I used turn signals, marker lights, .... etc. If I recall, I had to follow a specific start sequence. I had to power up the truck before turning on the NVS. If I turned the NVS on before powering on the truck, the rear lights and front hazard lights would blink which was cool if you wanted to have the hazard lights on. Like in standby mode.

Try powering on the the truck first. Then turn on the NVS. Let me know if this works.

The lights dont really blink, like flashers. The more modulate like a motorcycle headlight

The lights only blink like flashers if i turn the NVS on before the truck.

The headlights get brighter when I squeeze the throttle and when I go in reverse the rear lights bet a little brighter too.

Just remembered, my son is running an NVS without the turn signals and parking lights on his scx10 Tundra. I'll ask him how he has his setup.
