Need a way to actuate headlight, taillights, smoke generators, or anyting else on your stock RC Stuart or Abrams Tank? The SWITCH will do it. The SWITCH is a self-contained microcontroller that attaches to the stock receiver decoder IC and toggles on and off when the machine gun 'fire' button is pushed on and off three times rapidly. The SWITCH will drive a couple of LEDs directly or, with the addition of a relay, drive just about anything. The SWITCH draws it's low power requirement from the tank's receiver. The switch 'grounds' either 5v or 12v and will sink (control) up to 200mA. Check out the circuits below for more details.

The MG fire effect is used as normal. To actuate your device, push the MG fire 3 times within 1.5 seconds. Press the MG fire 3 times again to turn it off.

The SWITCH is $25 in the US and includes shipping.
