automatic lights
i was thinking if you could make a automatic switch to turn on your cars lights with out stoping and taking off the body. first you would need a 3 channel remote, i am going to use a tmaxx remote, and reciver. then take the servo connect it to switch that is connect to battery and lights. example picture below, tell me what you guys think of it, if it will work, or just to confusing)

A suggestion: Use a push-button switch instead of a toggle (at least it looks like a toggle in your pic). If you use a toggle, the servo will have to hold power against it constantly to keep the lights on, that'll drain your Rx fast. If you use a push-button, you'll only have to activate the servo once for ON and once for OFF.

I got a switch outa a old VCR player that it perfect for brake lights i'll post a pic of it when my parents get bak with the camera. All it is, is 2 thin copper strips which can be pushed to touch the other i was going to connect it to the servo when the brake goes on!
