My version of glad hands... Work in progress

Hey Aaron those look great. normally on a 1:1 the black plug( electrical) is in the middle. Also there are some trucks that don't have coiled wires other than the electrical wire. I knew you were talking about this at Indy and its looking pretty cool. I was thinking about this some for my build as well. Do they have the stereo plug and port ( male and female ends) . That would make for easy plug/unplug.

Keep up the good work

I got both the male and female plugs at radio shack. Yea some trucks have only 2 lines some have 4 I went with 3. Now the female are stereo with 3 Ports for wires, three makes are mono with only 2 but you could get the stereo with 3.. So its endless what you could do, servo leads, lights, esc etc...
I did find smaller 2,3,and 4 prong mini plugs in the train area that would work good to but like I said a pack of 2,2 prong plugs were $20... I have $25 total in this entire setup... So its cheaper then the Tamiya set and looks better and can be ran to suit any setup. My lowboy will have this setup with the mini plugs connecting the neck to the platform thus was a days worth of trial and errors for this result. Not too bad and I'll be working on it more next time I get a chance. Been working 60+ hour Weeks since Indy
