Default Wiring lights

So this is my first post on here and I just bought my first axial scx10.

So currently I have my lights being feed out of my receiver to a switch then to a Y and its a mess with wires everywhere

I am wanting to run all my lights off a standalone system with either a small lipo battery or 9v. I have a total of 4 lights that need power.

My question is do they sell a junction block for all those to plug into versus a mess of Y's and wires? Currently all of my lights have futaba connectors on them.

Any pictures and recommendations of how to do this would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome and congrats on your purchase! Which scx10 did you go with? Did it come with a light kit?

Heyok, is it possible to get something like that with a signal wire so I can use my 3rd channel to switch the lights on and off? I currently have the axial simple led kit on my yeti and would like to operate them remotely instead of using the on/off switch I mounted in the fuel cell.

I make a lot of parts for switching power using a receiver channel.

I bought the remote switch for led that plugs into the rx. It works great. The external powered remote switch is great if you want to run a brighter light bar that prefers more power like the VP Rigid light bars. I've also bought the no brainer bec for my upgraded HV500 steering servo. He has great customer support and can customize your stuff to exactly what you need if you contact him.
