It's hard to get it real tidy without resorting to making your own cables up.
Trouble is, the LED controller really needs to be attached to the shell but powered from the ESC on the chassis
Try looking at some drift builds, they usually use a fair few lights so you might get some routing isnpiration there.
I'm just finishing off the wiring on my GMade truck, and it started well, now it's a nest!
I've made a few joins in cables so the LED controller isn't plugged directly into the ESC, but into an extension cable running out of the ESCHere's a drift-build pic I found via google from http://www.pursuitechs.com/drift-car-build/

Plastruct or Evergreen are two brands which spring to mind for modelling sheet, there's a few more here; https://www.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0095p?FVSEARCH=styrene+sheet
That foam board won't take much abuse, and is pretty useless in damp/wet conditions as the outer sheets are like paper

They'll fit in so much as both chassis use 12mm hexes, but the diameter of the wheel/trye would be out of scale to the rest of the car (body, length etc.)
M chassis wheels are around 1.5" diameter, whereas TT01 compatible wheels are 1.9" diameter
Unless you're going for a certain look, I doubt they'd 'work'-

It was originally on AsiaTees, but it's gone now.
There was a post from JS Scale on FB saying they should've been exclusive seller for a while, they have it listed here; https://www.jsscale.net/1-10-range-rover-classic-abs-molded-body-f454059.htmlI daresay it'll be back on Asiatees eventually.
Just found this on JS Scale FB Page, https://www.facebook.com/js.scale1/, so all is good;
QuoteJSscale keeps the exclusive sales for the Range Rover Classic body for now.
We talked with Jason Tsang from Asiatees / Team Raffee. It was a miscommunication from the manufacturer, not from him.Jason is a great person and very professional. He's passionate like we are.
The issue has been solved between the 3 partners, and now the first bodies have already been shipped.Stay tuned for a live session next week !
Thank you all for all the love and support you showed us yesterday , we had tons of messages !!-

Opened this - cheers to Tony's Tamiya Parts 👍

AFAIK, Tamiya don't do 'remote' lights for trailers - you either run a wire to them from the tractor unit or go aftermarket
I looked into the aftermarket option for a mate, and there were a couple of wireless sets but it all got a bit too complicated so I gave up

Let’s hope the TCphotos service moves forwards.
It's up and running for all subscribers now - Just let Chris know you need it activating.
You should've received a mailshot yesterday about various stuff, there's a 'helpline' link there which can be used to request TCPhotos activation.

From AsiaTees:
TRC is releasing one of the most sort bodies in scale crawling - first generation Range Rover
This is a 1/10 Rover First Gen hardbody with a 313mm wheelbase.
The body needs to be assembled together. Strong plastic ABS material for durability and strength.
Front hood and doors on both sides open. Rear window and door open separetely in two pieces.We've mounted the body on an Axial SCX10 II for your reference. Four bolts will lock the body securely in place.
To give a better size comparison, we've put the new Range Rover body next to a Killerbody Toyota LC70. The size is very similar in terms of total length, but the shape of the Range Rover is much rounder than the LC70 making it look bigger.
Size:
Height: 165mm
Width: 205mm
Length: 540mm
Weight: 1100 grams
Includes:
Metal door hinges
Body mounts for SCX10, SCX10 II and TRX4
Front side mirrors
Front & rear LED light lenses
Front & rear LED light buckets
Front & rear bumpers
Hardware
Comes unpainted in white color.Estimated ship date: On or before December 31, 2018

Ah, here ya go; JST PH

If you order the terminals/crimps get 'cut reel' as they're still attached to a metal runner - makes them easier to handle cos they're tiny!

Nope, but I got a few with black/white leads on if you want them
The connectors are probably JST but I just sent a lead to a guy that made cables and he sent me the right thing
As well as the connector, you'd need the crimps and a tool for crmping 'em -
Yup, same here - I'll let Cris know
