Re: Bearings in 3-speed gear box

Re: Tamiya king Hauler and MFC

Re: Additional Lights & Wireless Lights
I've used the OB1 on several builds. Once paired they stay paired. It's when you want to run it with a different trailer that you'll have to pair it to that trailer. The OB1 will allow you to use...

Re: Extending the battery leads
It's about the same. All depends on your setup. If you'd rather keep the battery, esc, reciever all in the same general area I'd extend the motor wires. Or what you could do is put a connector on...

Re: trailer lighting
I've used several of these kits as well as installed them for other and they are very good. The nice thing is they make a stand alone version as well as a version that works with the MFC.
