|  remote on/off switch help
so a while back, on another forum, I saw a thread on how to make a remote on/off switch with an old servo board. I tried it out with my light kit. 8 white 5mm, 2 red 5mm, and 2 yellow 3mm lights with an 9v battery. I am using an old axial as-2 servo board, and a Fs-gt3b. I knew that the receiver can't have 2 power supplies, so I am only connecting the control wire to the reciver. The lights will be on, but they won't turn off with the button on the transmitter. Is there a setting that needs to be changed on the remote? If any of you guys can help that would be awesome!  Last edited by mitchr97; 07-11-2013 at 11:33 AM. |

the 3rd channel switch will NOT turn the lights on or off. contact HEYOK , he makes a switch for that . about 20 bucks and well worth it. been using mine for over 2 yrs with no problems |

yup, that is what the servo board is for. The guy that made it did't have an external batt for the lights though I don't think.

| Re: remote on/off switch help Found a use for a crappy servo - RC-Monster Forums I wonder if I should connect the battery to the red and black wires that go to the rx on the servo board, and just connect the white wire to the rx? |

You don't need a 3 position switch. Like Crawlhog mentioned, get with Heyok and get one of his switches. Can't go wrong for the money.
