Light system options?
Maybe i just couldn't find it but, i didn't see a light kit thread...
i am overhauling another Wedico loader for someone and he would like a light kit installed so that it has brake lights and back up lights. We tried the rc4wd/smart light kit and the headlights turn off when you back up and the tail lights go out when you forward...i.e. not good.. Any ideas for a nice light system?

Re: Light system options?
I had emailed r/c lites once and they told me that they could configure one of their kits for a semi,so I would think that they could configure one for the loader. Sorry I done have a link but hope the info helps

Re: Light system options?
Ihave some experience wit the cti devices as they are in my excavator(lights) and in one of my trucks(controlling lights and relay for a pump motor).
They can have up to four outputs, each toggled on/off by a single channel. Cheers, AP |

Re: Light system options?
Looking at all of these lighting systems i am surprised at how hard it is to find these options.
1)Headlights stay on 2)Taillights dim and bright when brake applied and turn off when reversing. 3) reverse light that comes on when backing up i will call rc-lights and see if this unit does what we need for a loader: http://www.rc-lights.com/products/RCL5053.html

Re: Light system options?
I changed the original wedico electronic to servonaut.
S20 with rear and brake lights in conjunction with a ml4 do the job now :-) Br, Tom |

Re: Light system options?
Have a look at the HeyOk lighting controllers that RC4WD are now selling.
http://store.rc4wd.com/Brake-Reverse...er_p_3131.html This particular one has several outputs, you can have an always on for headlights, a switched output for driving lights that comes on with forward throttle, the tail lights are dim while driving and are always bright for brake lights with the throttle in the neutral position, and with reverse throttle the reverse lights come on. You could always just ditch the switched front output and you have always on headlights and tails, with switched brake and reverse. They've recently started selling their products and they have a few different options for lighting modules. |

Re: Light system options?
Hi,
I used this one on one of my builds (sorry.. the page is in German..). It's tiny, but works great: brake/reverse-switch They have a new model that includes a beeper now.. Beeper thingie Here's the vid of it in my Jero: (I used the reverse module in combination with this module here: turn signals and lights ..this one switches turn signals and lights). Cheers Pip |

i like to have all of the engine rev anytime work is done so, if i have enough mixes available i mix everything to command the sound. i just overhauled this machine for someone and all i need to do is figure out which light system we are going with so that i can clean up the wiring. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fX5O2wond4

Re: Light system options?
For the loader I recommend Servonaut S20 and ML4, in addittion to the SMX. Several guys use thet combo here in Norway and it will give you all the functions you're mentioning.

Re: Light system options?
Thank you very much for this information. This is probably the route we will go then.

Here is a vid of a full scale 996G, turn up your speakers and notice how much it throttles up just turning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtlYjiBTukw and this how i set up an RC 996G: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmTSjSnnCAY Much more realistic than just having the drive run the sound IMHO.
