I cant wait to get back out with you guy. I had a great time the last time and am looking forward to playing agian.
 
Originally I was saying my kids would not be coming. Just me.
Now, wife has plans with friends, so I am either out or bringing all 3 kids for a very short visit.

What time were you thinking on Friday?

Sweli that thing looks great. Do you guys have any advise on on/off switches, mine went out again. This will be the third one that goes on the truck since I have had it. Should I just bypass it and just un plug the battery when I am done.

For switches, I used this one from Rat Shack, but it is rated for 10a at 125vAC. Some will say that it is rated at less for 12v DC, but it has lasted so far.

I found a 15a 125vAC switch in my local hardware store, but it is physically larger.

Rat shack says they carry this one, but could not find it in Holland.

All Electronics has some rated at 20A 125vAC and more.

Yea I will have to take a look and see what I can find. The one that I got last time came in a two pack so I am going to through that one in for now until it goes out. Hopefully by the time that one goes out I will have my 21.5 brushless.
 
sweli the light set up looks sweet can"t wait to see them at night

im glad to see you and the kids can come out & play



thank u



( IT ALL ABOUT FUN )
 
I think my wife and 3 kids 2,3,8 are going to come out for a couple/few hours.

Hope to see you guys then!


Hey Sweli where did you get your led's from?
 
The white LEDs I get from RatShack. They are $2.99 for two, 7200MCD whites.
Reds and Ambers come from my work.

You need an inline, current limiting resistor to drop from your source voltage to the operating voltage of the LED.
My source was 6v. My white LEDs wanted 3.7v, the blue ones, 4.5v, the amber and red ones under 2v.

Single circuit calculator:
http://led.linear1.org/1led.wiz
Parallel circuit calculator (source voltage must be double LED voltage):
http://led.linear1.org/led.wiz

Use 20 or 25ma for the LED current.
LED voltage is usually on the pkg.
Source voltage you know.
Check the "wiring diagram" box before calculating.
