Hey guys. I got my Walwart, and a jack etc, and hooked everything up last night. It worked like an absolute charm!!!!!!!!!! :D I had it on overnight, and everything is nice and bright, and no more Batteries!!! I really doubt i would have figured this out on my own, nor would I have had the guts to t...

I was hoping you would say that Scott!!! Should be here tomorrow. Will let you guys know how it goes.

Ordered the 9V wal wart recomended by scott today, so hopefully next week can finnish this up. I know I sound like a broken record, but thankyou so much everyone for your input/advice!! Means alot!!

Its the White and Blue LEDs which eats power like there is no tomorrow. But I just hope that they are n...

Thanx scott!!!!! I think I might try the one you suggested with my "experiment set" of LED's, and see what happens!!

hey, thanx alot for the help fellas!!!!!!! So maybe something like this would work for me???? http://www.sparkfun.com/products/298 Engineer: your #2 comment is pretty close, except the red LED's. I have 3 reds in one circut powered by a single 9V battery. one for each engine, and one in the intake g...

Hey all. Sorry if this is a dumb question, but i just really get confused and overwhelmed when it comes to figuring out lighting. I have tried to read up on this stuff, but it just seems to be beyond my comprehension. Anywho, I just finnished this cruiser: http://i608.photobucket.com/albums/tt165/SW...
