Chassis as the ground???

[ax-10 crazy]

Does anyone see any problems if I were to use the chassis rail (scx10) as the ground? I have two leds I want to install at the back of my truck but I am not keen on having a bunch of wire going from the front to the back as the chassis is stretched. This way all I will have to do is run one wire (positive) to the back.

Any thoughts on this? Have you done it before?

Thanks

I've never done it in an RC.
Yes, it's the "typical" method in 1:1's.
Would it work? Yes.
Should you do it? Could be. Just make sure no other wires (that are "hot") hit the chassis. This includes motor wires.

I would "prefer" to use wires for a ground/return line, NOT the chassis.

Ok, I might just run the extra wire then. seeing as a lot of the chassis is all connected by metal somewhere it may not be the best idea if a wire were to touch it.
