leadfoot,

Try Genki for those, too. I remember seeing light units there. I don't know if they're the type you want, but there were like three or four types, if I remember correctly.

Just take the time to surf around there. They have beaucoup detailing parts.

There's a Tamiya TLU02 Light unit at Genki at the LED/Lightbucket section, page two.

It controls up to 32 lights, and is similar to an ESC, or so it says. There are also many. many, lightbucket sets for all sorts of car bodies.

I think you need to work up an order for Genki. They probably have a lot more there you'd be interested in..........

Get the light control box from 3Racing. It controls the lights to where you can have working turn signals, brake and reverse lights. It's only like $25 or so, depending on where you get it.

Yah, try the 3racing one....the tamiya one is $60, and that's not including the light strands. It also requires two other units that Genki doesn't stock.

Gave it a try, though. Sorry.

Depending on what you what you may want to look at Tamiya TLU-1/TLU-2 unit the biggest difference is TLU-2 gives you more options of course.

Hope this helps.

here is a site that has really cheap prices on stuff - I ordered a bunch of stuff and the quality was good, they have light kits....I can't vouche for them as I have not used one of their light kits yet, but I can vouche for 3Racing, and Yeah Racing dark drifter light kit, they both are inexpensinve and work great, in fact they kick butt especially compared to HPI's light system which I paid over $80 for a couple of years ago.

PS - their shipping is super fast!! They even shot a picture of my package with postage and emailed it to me confirming they shipped it, now that's service!
