Fitting a receiver controlled switch to the Marlin

Another eBay shopping trip turned up a receiver controlled switch that I could use to operate the lights on the Marlin as opposed to having them on all the time the truck was powered up.
The Video shows the installation of the switch, setting up the Futaba 4PM handset and then the operation of the lights. Everything then gets fitted properly and I compare the cheap Chinese switch against the more expensive (but higher capacity) Turnigy alternative.
The switches can be found by searching 'rc receiver switch' on eBay, I went for the single channel switch for maximum simplicity.

Thank you for this video. And nice truck by the way. How do you like your transmitter. I am thinking of getting one.

@Joe Rutkowsky Hey Joe, thanks for watching. Love the transmitter but it seems a little heavy on battery usage - definitely upgrade to a 6.6v LIFE battery for better usage times. A few rigs have found 4 channels to be a bit restrictive at times - I also use a FlySky Noble which is another great radio. Difficult to choose a favourite between the two, I'd be happy with either :-)
