Default lights question?

ok so i understand for the most part how to wire things. but i was wondering if there was some way to run it off of my 7.2 battery, and if so where would be a good area to tap into the power ?

I would just get a extra pack like a mini t pack and have a on off switch in bettween them to turn them on and off and just do that cause it will run the 7.2 down. But you could just cut a small slit on both the negative and positive and solder to that if you want. How would you turn them off though.?? You wouldn't.

With a switch.

He's running LED's. They'll take a looooong time to run down a 7.2V stick pack. JIA did a nice write up on them in RC driver.
