|  Couldn't wait any longer
Couldn't hold back any longer....... I've had this for almost three weeks now but was sworn to secrecy :-P        Quick video out front of the house. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NS7a6qwEAeU LED's are run off of channel 3 hooked through a Pico switch. Integy 65t lathe motor Mamba Sidewinder Nomadio Sensor Radio Taillights will be hooked up next week when I get my red LED's in. That's it for now  |

I can't really comment yet on it's preformance, the snow has finally melted so I haven't had it out much yet. So far though, I think it is going to make a very fun and capable trail rig. | |

Could you give some more details on the lights,maybe a wiring diagram and a part number for the pico switch or where you got it.I have no idea what a pico switch is.(I'm electiclly challanged) I like the way you can turn them on and off remotely.How did you mount the taillights.

Here is a link for the Pico Switch http://www.dimensionengineering.com/PicoSwitch.htm It just plugs into the 3rd or 4th channel on your reciever. This is a quick diagram I threw together at work. I spliced power off of my battery on the ESC side. The pico switch acts as a relay, I have my 3rd channel set to 2 steps. One click on, one click off. Once I get my red LED's in I will add them in series to the circuit which will allow me to remove the resistor.  |

What size "dia " where the leds you used? I am having a couple led controllers built for this and another project they will be like this Brake lights always function Head lights and tail lights will be controlled by 3rd channel just like a real vehicle working reverse lights I opted not to have working turns signals , they would just annoy me |

PICO switches are great. You can use them for almost anything. Nice part too is that you can use a seperate power source for them as well.
