Building a day cab
 

So, as many of you may already know. I'm building my first day cab dump truck.
Of course I want sound and lights but I know that stuffing a MFU is possible but there is no room for error by the looks if it:eek:
Instead here is where I'm at. I have 2 small ESC to run truck and dump box, I picked up a servonaut SMT ( no turbo but to good a deal to pass up ) and I'm thinking about powering with lipo saddle packs to further save space.
My question is, what is a good lighting system that won't brae the bank? I've looked at

I'm just wondering how good or bad these systems are and if there is anything else out there that is compact and easy to use?

Thanks for any help or suggestions.

I have a version of the hobby king(different name) in my Kenworth. Unless you want flashing disco lights it is just on when the power is on. Pretty basic function and to be honest I was a little disappointed. I also should note that mine had an NFG socket for one of the 5mm white lights when I got it. I figured that I wasn't using the flashing mode so I just plugged it in elsewhere and it worked OK. I didn't take it back because I bought it locally and it would cost me more in gas than the unit was worth but quality may be poor:confused:.

The blue dump has the RC4WD light kit. has turn signals and everything just no reverse light...

Thanks Aaron, I completely forgot about rc4wd and looks like it fits the truck and budget perfectly :). I can live without reverse lights:D
