battle switch
 

I'm looking to get a battle switch but I'm not sure what kind is used for running all the extra lights or if its really necessary to have in order to run extra lights. Can I get some input on what everyone does or uses and who's the best seller of these? :confused:

Thanks rc farmer,
I looked into this and have one on the way just to try it out. I see all these truck builds with lights that everyones made look simple but its been a challenge for me as I have never delt with led's or lighting of this nature and I guess when I do something I jump in with both feet and learn the hard way! :eek::eek:

Search the forum - there are several pas posts about wiring up LED's - tying into the MFU wiring, adding extra lights, online sources for resistor sizing etc. Visit a local place like RadioShack - if you have them - they have books and manuals for the DIY guy and easy kits to get to know the wiring end of it.

Thanks Izzy, I'll look into radioshack and see what I can find. I know I'm probably just over thinking this anyways. :eek:

This will help design your layout and i can get you to links where i get resistors cheap as well as LEDS

Aaron where do you get your resistors from? I need to get a hand full and radioshack here only carries a couple different sizes.
