Bert_w164 Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Hi, Could you provide a bit more info on the specs of the LEDs - are these a set that are intended to run off the RX, is it a DIY solution etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert_w164 Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 (edited) That won't happen, turning the channel on and off on the remote doesn't cut power. To cycle the power on and off you need an additional controller, something like this: https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-receiver-controlled-switch-1.html?___store=en_us Edited February 2, 2022 by Bert_w164 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigdal1995 Posted February 2, 2022 Author Share Posted February 2, 2022 So do I need a separate module to cut power ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, unless you have a RX/TX with that capability, which by the sounds of it, you don't have. Or just install a switch yourself but that would be a manual intervention rather than controlled at the remote end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkshireman Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Hi mate. You can get a 3rd channel switch from Modelsport. Part no-2020050. Or if you're prepared to wait...from China via eBay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manxman Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 This is exactly the info I was waiting for. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
