Third channel led lights switch & other newbie questions

[devuser]

Hello,

I'm a proud new owner of a SCX10 Power Ram Wagon RTR and I'm just starting my scale building crusade.

I've bought the axial front/read bumpers and mounted some cheap chinese leds into them, connected them to the receivers third channel, all working ok when I switch on the ESC.

1. Light Kit
I now want to install the led kit below and I'm wondering if I need any extra electronics so that i can switch on and off the lights coming from the kit, using the third channel buttons from the Tactic TTX300 transmitter.

2. Headlight/Taillight buckets

Does someone have any recommendations on how I can implement headlights/taillights to the power wagon body? I'm guessing that I can remove somehow the lexan paint from the body, but I can't find any suitable buckets that will work with that body. Any ideas?

Thanks for the help!

Here are some images from my first run, a few days ago:
I've had to make some improvisations until my scale accessories arrive.

I'd recommend you to heyok. He's a member on here and makes all sorts of options for lights, switching, winch setups etc. I'm not familiar with the light kit you posted but it looks a lot like the axial nvs kit which I do have experience with. I like the NVS but be prepared do deal with a ridiculous amount of wiring and routing that wiring can be a pita. Check out the electronics section and do some searching in there to get some ideas. I use the heyok remote switch for LEDs on my stuff with the ttx300.
