I now have the multi function unit which controls the lights and sounds on the truck and I have been slowly adding the lights in to the truck and threading the wires through the chassis.

Waiting for some cable ties to come, so I can tidy up the wiring. Still wondering where I will keep it, but it looks like it will be my bedroom floor for now.

I`ll find somewhere to store it. When you get it back it may be well play worn. That`s IF you get it back. Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

Bought some Futuba servo motors to use instead of the unknown brand ones as they have metal gears and things fit better on them.

Now that the cable ties have arrived, I have been busy tidying up the wiring, (or at least trying to). - LoL
It does look a lot better though.

Keep up the good work.

The first you have to do when you get the multi function unit is label all the wiring before you start installing it and when you get to actually installing it all, the instructions are very comprehensive. Far better instructions than what you get with partworks.
