[crash alot]

You just need to plug the LED into the receiver, the esc has nowt to do with it

It doesn't matter what ESC you have, you plug it into a spare socket on your receiver.

Ready made kits are available:

The cheap option is to build it yourself if you can handle a soldering iron.

All you need is a 5mm flashing LED like this one and a resistor. If you are connecting it to a plug that fits in the receiver you want a 47 ohm, 1 watt resistor, if you are wiring it straight into the battery leads you need a 100ohm, 1 watt resistor instead. Wire it like the diagram here and you will have a flashing tail light.

okay thanks alot does any one no if tamiya or anyone else are bringing out like a chassis protector to stop it getting trashed when u play in street

[terry.sc]

Search ebay for RC chassis protection for a suitable self adhesive film that will prevent the chassis getting scratched.

I just made one for my f104,, Just went to radio shack purchased a 5mm 5 watt blinking red led and wired it up. No resistors. Just pluged into the channel 3 of my reciever.
