It is called a switch 8 it takes one of your channels on your remote and makes it 8 different channels you can run lights or motors with it.

Thanks.

Do you have a link for it? I googled "switch 8" and "rc switch 8" only to have a bunch of non-relevant stuff come back.

Dont think they sell them anymore. I have taken it out as I found I did not need it like I thought I did.

You should not give yourself that much credit that I took into account what you said last I knew there was no proper way to spell "SLANG" as I never changed anything like to said before it is the way it is to be and I did not give 2 shyts what you thought.

That is a great looking truck.

Well I have had this truck for many years over 10 and it has changed over the years and since I have not changed it in 3 years it is time for some change again.

I have never been totally happy with the flat floor condo 9800 IH series I am a bigger fan of the 9670 and 9700 IH cab overs so it was time to redo a new body and get it finished off right.. 2 main things I don't like about the globe body is the 9800 series has a set back front axle and that stupid little window in the sleeper although it lets alot of light in the sleeper still don't like the look so them were the first things to change..Also I am leaving off the head ache rack off the bed and switched out the super signals for stander'ed front wheels and tires..


Wheel well moved forward now to add side skirts and remove window..


Side skirts to lower the body to look right and no more goofy window..


Now for paint went with the same red as before and a sand color keeping it old school with the strips and some gold fine line..








Before and After...Much better..


Ok so now for getting the parts on the cab and getting one of my IH Grills I had Russ make me for it sanded and polished and mounted up.








Also I removed the DOT tape off the bed rails and sanded and polished out the rails and the rear light plate and added new DOT tape again..




So now I have left is to make another alum visor for it and I think I am going to run a True Scale tapered style front bumper or make one of my alum blank curved end front bumpers not sure yet...

Finally, this truck gets the proper IH looking cab! Nice paint job too. Very clean. I like it!

Thanks much Nate!! I feel the same you do finally it is right these grills were a pain to make for russ but they finish off the body right.. If I could find somthing to use for splash guard over the front wheel opening that would be the topper??

[bigpipespete]

I always liked that truck now i love it . What a paint job, wow!
