Oh cool, I missed your follow up thread before I finished posting mine. I actually got sidetracked and watched Dr. No on TV.

I was in Radio Shack the other week and saw the parts I'm guessing you used. I didn't know if i'd be able to work them into my design but I guess it can be done. Also, is there really a need for a transformer for just a bunch of LEDs? A 9V battery has more voltage and people use them all the time for building custom light setups for RC cars, I'd like to know your reasoning behind your claim not to use them. I guess heat could be a factor trying to get 7.2V down to 2 or 3 but if that's the case just run the LED's in series to boost the forward voltage of the load to a closer level to the source.

I'm using a 3 channel radio as well from my monster trucks since it's got multi-model memory so the use of the 3rd channel as high beams is a feasible. I have never played around with the wiring system employed by servos and radio systems so I'm not sure how that works. Any schematics on utilizing the 3rd channel in a circuit of my own would be greatly appreciated, I really don't have the time to research it myself. I would assume it's just got a ground wire and + wire as well as some sort of control signal over the third. If it's a digital signal that requires a logic convertor to properly utilize with a transistor amplifier for the high beams then I'll really have to take some time to look into it. Any info on the wiring pattern for a JR radio (are they all standard?) would be very helpful and time saving to me. I still have a bit of yard work to do since Frances decided to take some of my trees down. heh, storms are a pain.

Anyways, very cool light job. Even more impressive with the high-low selector addition. I'd love to build something like that of my own. I've already started work on a system to increase voltage to the brake lights while on the brakes. However this was on a nitro car with it's own throttle servo so I'm looking for a way to adapt it to an electronic speed control. When I get by brush-less system in I'll be able to fully test it.
