[@adamross4774]

Dude.... thank you for all these how too light your rc videos .... your a life and sanity saver... I owe u eather a hug or Beer!...

[@AMPROEngineering]

Hahah! Thanks!

[@nironnami5674]

Man I just wanted to say that you got me addicted to rc cars, I mean If been addicted to rc car for a long time but you got me realy addicted to them, in particular vintage tamiya's and I always wanted an sandscorcher, but its way to expensive for me, so Im going to build my own (with metal suspension), this post is probably a big dumpsterfire and I apologise for that but I wanted to say thank you for all the great vids and many years of fun greetings and love from ze Gärmani , have a great day/nigth/whatever time of day it is !!!

[@AMPROEngineering]

Oh thank you so much for reaching out! I am glad I was able to fan the flames! haha!

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

I definitely didn't expect this to be a $12.95 China Special... But you get a lot of USEABLE function, and that's important!!

[@AMPROEngineering]

I dig the dim/flashing turn signals a lot

[@tomjohns8498]

Wow early morning watch and I'm already thinking about new build just to have my wing wang lights 🙃 😅

[@AMPROEngineering]

LOL! I dont know why that was so confusing to me.

[@TCnML]

The ol wing wang strobe.

[@AMPROEngineering]

lol!

hi just found this channel howdy frum east TN

[@AMPROEngineering]

Hey there! Welcome!

[@77alexander]

Hello my friend, love your videos, can you suggest me a good lighting system to light my Tamiya Ford-350 with front lights, signals, reverse ans brake lights? TLU-02 is an option but too expensive!. Thanks in advance

[@AMPROEngineering]

This one here is awesome. You can get many lights and expansion kits for it but it too is costly. Check out episode 187. that one may do the trick

[@wolfe1970]

Shame they dont deliver to the uk

[@AMPROEngineering]

I just checked with them. They do not directly sell to UK but AMain is one of their distributors and they will post to UK

[@wolfe1970]

@@AMPROEngineering Thanks, will check them out, appreciate it

[@jmont4117]

What type of connectors do the lights have?

[@AMPROEngineering]

It is a small JST style connector. I do not know the model type though

[@robinkesterlives]

Its a pretty common JST-PH2.0 connector, used in other kits as well. It is worth noting that some kits use this plug w the wires reversed.

[@buffalodiehard]

I dont know if it’s because we are the same age ( I’m not a stalker i just remember you mentioning you were born in 1980 in a few videos lol) but I find your humor very funny ...... wig wag 😂🤣

[@AMPROEngineering]

Haha! Thanks Austin!

[@sufyaankhan232]

Would brake lights stay on even when reversing?

[@AMPROEngineering]

No, brake lights are off when backing up.

[@sufyaankhan232]

Awsome so when brake applied they are on and when i move my trigger back to reverse they would go off

[@CoroaEntertainment]

In my humble opinion, it would be far easier to follow you if you printed up a simple graphical top view of a car/truck (ect), tapped all the lights to their respective positions, then proceeded to do the lighting test. That way we could all see what that lights are actually doing for the different modes.

[@AMPROEngineering]

Sorry man I just dont have the time to do that.

[@ToyotaGuy1971]

Besides ebay, where would be a good place to look for a replacement rear drive axle for my vintage Kyosho 4Runner? The pressed-on bevel gear for the differential stripped from the shaft. I tried to make a shim to go in between the gear and the shaft, but it was too thick, and I bent the shaft, trying to pound the gear back on. I can try to bend the shaft strait, but I don't think anything's gonna hold that gear on there now. I would appreciate any advise.

[@AMPROEngineering]

Look for a facebook group for the car (if there is one), for vintage Kyoshos or vintage RC's.

[@ToyotaGuy1971]

@@AMPROEngineering Well, i appreciate the advise. Fortunately I was looking at it again this morning, and it didn't look as bad as I'd originally thought, and after I looked it's twin, I realized I did get the gear pressed on far enough, so I put it in the vice, and with a hammer and small block of wood, I got it bent almost perfectly straight, so I think it'll work now, but even with 109 locktite on there and that sleeve, I'm afraid it'll slip again, since I have it geared for crawling with the 8-tooth pinion I put in. Those bevel-gears on the drive shafts, are the only thing keeping that drive shaft from sliding right out. It's kind of a poor design. I guess I'll just have to try it and see if it holds. Thanks again for the advise though, maybe if it doesn't hold, I'll have to try that.Cheers!

[@ToyotaGuy1971]

@@AMPROEngineering Sorry, it was 290 locktite that I used, and I drove the truck outside today, and it's holding, so I'm a happy man, again. I used to have a real 1991 4runner, and that's why even though it seemed for a while there, that every-time I fixed something on it, and something else would break, I'd be depressed until I got it road-worthy again.

[@jamesswift4641]

It's pronounced wig wag,it's a strobe that emergency vehicles use, and some city and county workers vehicles have that also

[@AMPROEngineering]

LOL yes I figured that out later on in the video. Never heard of it in my life.

[@handgunNmore]

hello could u help me figure out, how could this be done where there is no throttle plug (receiver/esc combo unit)

[@carloscolton92]

dont know if anyone gives a damn but if you guys are bored like me during the covid times you can stream all the new series on instaflixxer. Been streaming with my brother for the last few weeks :)

[@randallbeckett2366]

@Carlos Colton yea, have been watching on instaflixxer for years myself :)

[@AMPROEngineering]

Hmmmm....that is a hard one. I dont think you can do it unless each channel gets a seperate input.

[@bduff007]

2.4g compatible?

[@ruftime]

Yes, and many more😎

[@AMPROEngineering]

Oh yes, as CanyonRacer mentions

[@sorryociffer]

Wig-wag strobe.... their wording is a poor Chinese translation.. lol

[@AMPROEngineering]

So they are a US company but I swear I have never heard wig/wag in my life. LOL!

[@sorryociffer]

@@AMPROEngineering Lol... it’s not a company, it’s just the name of the style of lights because they go back and forth...
