Hi all,

thought this would be best here, so here goes:

I'm in the process of kitting out my Ibex CC01 with led light, i've wired them all up and they gladly work perfect. But i've run myself in to a bit of a dilema, basically i don't have the slightest clue how to wire them to my esc using a seperate switch. I'm going to add the wires that will connect to my esc battery leads, then add a switch, which then goes to the led's. But i don't have the wiring knowledge to wire them to my 6-pin switch. Which wires go where?


Thanks, sorry no pictures to help, but you hopefully get the idea!

Do you want them all to turn on & off from the same switch, at the same time?

If so, then you don't need or want a 6 pin switch, you need a basic SPST ( single pole single throw ) switch which will have 2 or three pins; just wire the leds in parallel to one pin, and the battery side to ( one of ) the other. Flip the switch and they'll turn on & off, nice and simple.

If you're going for a more complicated lighting setup, then some pictures and/or a diagram of what you want to achieve is really required....

ahh, fair enough, i'll have to get one of those purchased then, also whilst i'm here, what would i need to make working indicators? to make them flash and to turn them on and off with the steering of the wheel?

thanks alot, jack

For that you'd need a purpose-made box of tricks that is sold with/for tamiya model big-rigs really, check towerhobbies.com & tamiyaparts.co.uk. It is something you could possibly make yourself but you'd need some properly laid out wiring diagrams and more specialised components; it's been done but you don't see it very often so finding links and reference material is kinda tricky...
