Great video too! If I had a truck like that, I'd be pretty proud. Just goes to show how a truck can evolve into a show stopper.
Thanks Nathan,

I did the 20 LED's so I could have the turn signals and hazard lights in the same bezel. I'm not a huge fan of having separate turn signals on the rear bumper. Yep, you got it, i have the SMX and M20+. I only run the M20+ for the lights though, because my motor is a brushless and the ESC isnt compatible with brushless.....

Love the rear bar and how you wired it up looks sweet!!! Great job in it!
Thanks man,
I'm ready for another meet too, playing in the real dirt is way more fun than the rubber.

Thanks for answering those questions, J.D. So when your blinkers turn on, the other LEDs stay on constant, and the turn signal LEDs flash, but bright enough to be noticeable, over the regular tail lights? Are they brighter because they get more voltage, or did you use a different value resistor to dim the others down a bit? Just wondering, because I'd really like to pick up an M20+ and SMX for my truck.
