I am a new Savage XL owner (love it) and have found that it needs some lights for evening running. I have found a LED offroad light set that can be turned on/off by a spare radio channel. My question is this... Since the XL comes with a 2 channel radio, can the HPI Mixer for the 3rd (pseudo) channel for the reverse module be used as the third channel to control the lights? IE, instead of hooking the servo for the reverse into the mixer, could I hook the lead from the light controller into the mixer?

Any ideas will help.

Thanks in advance.
 
u must have some nice neighbors to be able to run that big bad boy at night lol
 
No, won't work through a mixing channel. Needs a separate channel for on/off.
Just connect it to your receiver with an in line switch so you can use them when it gets dark.

Have yours set up like Rolex or like I was asking about with the mixer?
 
Most of the light sets on ebay have its own 9v hook up and switch.
