led's don't take much power. I'd run them off the rx or the bec.

you can run them directly off the little 3s.

id do like john said unless the leds are too dim with the lower voltage.

So for those of us running GripFab parts, do we get small decals to put on our trucks?!

Well I've pretty much run out of "brazing rod" so I hope I'm done with the brazing on the "secret weapon".

I have micro deans for the lights.. Should I just "Y" both my lights into one big deans and then simply plug them into the 1300mah to turn them on & off? It sounds simple, is it that simple?
I've heard that the VP light bars are too dim on 7.4. I run mine on a deans plug that I simply plug between the battery and ESC when I want it on. Like this:



Most of the time it's not connected and just taped up inside the body but when it is, it's running on 11.1 with no BEC or anything. It was designed for that. It was definitely the brightest light bar at the G6 night run.
