Human: 6 Position Wired Remote You May Be Asking Why 6, That's a Lot of Switches. Well, the Reason Is My next truck in the back of my head to make is going to be a heavy equipment rotator with a working rotator boom and winch. I want to use this remote on the Tamiya King Hauler as well. Seems that the most favorite toys I have are the older wired remotes, they are simple, only one set of batteries, no looking for stupid matching remotes sinking them up - way less expensive to make ect. ect and just plain more fun to play with. There are plugs so you can use however many switches you want if you only need 2, one for steering and one for drive or 4 for a backhoe. The maximum number of wires that I have ever is 8 leads in telephone cable - this is what I have been using since day one, so there is two holes for 2-8 wire output leads, there is also a plug for the other hole if not needed. Careful of the wire you purchase that it is stranded. I have used solid wire in the past but stranded us much better. I have found some on eBay listed on the bottom of this page. If somebody has ever found cheap multi-wire more than 8 leads, please let me know - I have seen 10 and 20 leads but the price for this stuff is about $1500 that takes this project way out of cheap to. The switches I have found are round nob. I can not seem to find these in flat again at least not in the reasonable price range. I am not ordering from China - it takes two months for stuff to get to my door from China. The picture of what I have built is not complete - I have not ordered the switches or wire yet, so I have used standard switches as demo for the picture. I was going to make a wired remote copy of my New Bright wired remotes because I really like those remotes but have decided to go with this tried and true design that I have been making since the early 60s. There were R/C remotes for airplanes but not on toy cars, and they were very expensive and extremely simple - so I would make wood boxes like these for my toy cars much nicer in plastic.
