most Baja owners have a x-can and have the rear pipe off, so i used the mounting hole for the pipe with a nylon lock nut to fix the box to the rear inside the roll cage housing to protect it .

8. the lights are powered buyt the 5 cell 4200mah battery reciever and are more for the cool factor than the purpose of running in the dark,buy this i can turn them off and on from my radio and really dont see the point of running them all the time in the middle of the day.there for there is plenty of power in the 6v pack to toy around with them for fun with out drainning the pack.how i powered this was using a tamiya conector than can be pluged into the charge port,kinda sinple realy,all wires are wraped with a hard plastic computor protection cable.it was made with the thoughts in mind that i can remove the whole system in the same time it takes to take off the body,it really is all plug & play.also if it was a real success i could sell them and not need your car to mount anything.just plug it in..

SORRY I MISSED A STEP...I ran the cable from back to front along side of the gas tank and split it off to 2 groups between the gas tank and the radio box. one for the servo and one for the power to go back for the remote switching, all wires are wraped in protective sheild.
