Ok so i pitched the controller...took off the connectors of the leds and stripped them. added some 9v plugs from some guitar pedals since i use 9v wall adapters. Added 2 9v batteries.wired it black black red red. Bam, let there be light
I was interested in adding a couple lights to mine. But I'm looking for something with a little more projection than an led

That is great. How cool would it be if you could find a spinning strobe for the top like on a real school bus?!? Lol
Are you running a lipo in that? If so, you could power them off your balance tap if you wanted to.

Yeah...originally i had a basic circut board sold with most light kits
But because my servo was outta line and was very unsure of how to install plus didnt want any eyecandy to mess with the electrics
So i hacked off all the connectors threw the controll box in some box and added 2 9v connectors

The basic board
All lights hook into board which is hooked into ones reciever and servo(via y cable) so left and right blinkers are supposed to work and somehow the program understands brake vs. Go. Vs. Stop and work the head and tail lights
Tried it thought it was bunko
Fixed it
Lights before didnt go when commanded added to power loss and wernt bright..,had to change that
Took off the white part
Replaced it with this part
Added took all of my 3rd grade knowledge of electrics...
Made somthing like this
However.., i found that 12leds take too much power to run off one 9v so i went half and half and used 2 9v connectors and batteries... now i have hyper brights!
