Thanks, Rick

Rick,

The first place to check is a great post on this forum http://www.rctruckandconstruction.co...read.php?t=441

I've been purchasing my LED's from http://led-switch.com/3mm%20LED.htm. They have a great selection and reasonable prices.

You'll also need some resistors, so this calculator will help http://led.linear1.org/led.wiz

Good luck,

Rob
