    I need to do some reading on all of that.

    Still don't quite understand how all of that works.

    I have my wires zip to the frame. In the front I have the wire coiled and secured by the velcro battery strap.

    What are the details of your LED setup? Are you running the stock servo and receiver? How many LEDs did you add and how do you have them wired?

    Thanks!

    6 LEDs, Traxxas Waterproof Servo, Xerun ESC, and Spectrum SR300 reciever. The lights came with a harness that had the plug for a servo on the end. I cut the wires for the front lights and added a foot of wire.

    You had good luck with that one? I've only ever heard negatives; aside from how cheap they are.
