That's funny. I thought that Heyok could come up with something for this when I first read the thread. Looks like he does . His products work very well and a very nicely made. I run a bunch of his winch controllers in my scalers. Good guy to deal with!

| Re: LEDs!!!!! quick question
lets say i get one of these does all my LEDs run off my receiver? or straight to the battery cuz right now i'm running all the lights straight to the battery (3s lipo 12.6v) and i have all the resistors setup for 12.6v and if i run it off the receiver i'll have to re wire everything to run at 6v??? i have a CC BEC and i futaba R617FS with 7 channels on it, so space and power isnt the issue right now i have it set up with a dig, winch, turn, throttle and BEC so i have 2 extra channels to play with and that's why i want to throw a switch in it for the lights and running all these bells and whistles on my scx-10 aint gunna blow anything up is it? |

I make something that will let you run the 3S pack and switch your lighting: RC Lighting Control Using External Power Looks like this: |

so with this i can leave my resistors on and every thing and solder my lights to this? do you make one so i can have 2 things going on basically like your dual RC switch for leds but the can run like this off a 3s instead of the receiver? |

4 Position Dual Powered Dual RC Switch And I will modify it so both outputs run from external power instead of just one. It will only raise the price a little. I'm assuming that you are using a linear or three position channel for this, not a two position channel. | ||
